Package: dnsmasq
Version: 2.72-3+deb8u1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I removed the file README from /etc/dnsmasq.d/ and dnsmasq did not start 
anymore.

Moving the file back there, or creating a new (even empty) file resolves the 
issue.

Should a file with instructions (not configs) really prevent a service from 
starting?

I believe it should not.
