I have openvswitch-switch, which did required from me to apply some changes to systemd service file that seems not to be aware of virtual devices up.

So, bottom line, /etc/network/interface files are taking action in a way that smashes the rush to boot up, so dnsmasq also become a victim, and for me the solution above was not compatible.

So I had to add to dnsmasq.service the follow lines:

     Requires=sys-subsystem-net-devices-<needed device>.device
     After=sys-subsystem-net-devices-<needed device>.device
     Wants=sys-subsystem-net-devices-<needed device>.device

Got the above info from

     systemctl --full | grep subsystem

Best regards!
