network-manager Depends on dnsmasq-base, so there is no need to deal
with the case where the latter is not installed.

Title:
NetworkManager needs dnsmasq-base to share a connection
Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Baltix:
Invalid
Bug description:
No warning messages or anything, but NetworkManager is unable to share
a connection unless dnsmasq-base is installed. When you select the
option to share the connection "Shared to other computers", it should
obviously warn you if dnsmasq-base is not installed.
I saw some evidence of a reported bug with the full dnsmasq package
not working properly with NetworkManager, but that might be related to
a more severe but sporadic bug that somehow prevents the connection
from being properly shared, even though the DHCP part is working and
the IP addresses are being assigned to the other computers. Only
workaround I've found for that one is a full reboot, but it's
infrequent enough to live with.
Less serious, but I think NetworkManager should also retain this
shared-connection setting through reboots, perhaps with a warning
about the nonstandard status of the network configuration. Also, it
should remember that I've disabled the wireless connections...
