Correct, that probably needs to go now.

Title:
network-manager should not turn on dnsmasq's "except-interface=lo"
option
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
As of n-m 0.9.6.0-0ubuntu4 NM listens on 127.0.1.1 rather than
127.0.0.1. So there is no longer any need to prevent standalone
dnsmasq from binding lo's address, 127.0.0.1. So the line
except-interface=lo
in /etc/dnsmasq.d/network-manager which was added in
0.9.6.0~git201207161259.00297f4-0ubuntu1 should be removed. (The line
"bind-interfaces" in that file is still needed.)
Previous discussion of these issues was in bug #959037.
I append the relevant changelog entries.
network-manager (0.9.6.0-0ubuntu4) quantal; urgency=low
* debian/patches/dns-dnsmasq-interface-and-dbus-path.patch: set the address
dnsmasq (and bind) plugins should listen on for DNS resolution to
127.0.1.1,
as opposed to 127.0.0.1 to avoid conflicts with other instances that might
need to run on the system with that address.
[...]
network-manager (0.9.6.0~git201207161259.00297f4-0ubuntu1) quantal;
urgency=low
[...]
* debian/network-manager.dnsmasq, debian/rules:
install a config file to /etc/dnsmasq.d to avoid system-wide instances of
dnsmasq to bind to 0.0.0.0 and the loopback interface, so that the NM-
spawned instance can claim an IP on lo and provide local resolution.
