Please be a better community member. Tell more about your side of
the story. Share here the two versions of /etc/init.d/dnsmasq One
version is "the Raspberry Pi version", the other "xubuntu". Doing so
makes it possible to compare the versions. It will reveal what made
the real difference.

I don't think dnsmasq comes with init script for RPI.
And I'm not sure anyone with RPI is reading this list (did someone reply so
far?)
Posting those scripts and/or diff would be better than just mentioning that.
A diff between the two versions shows a *lot* of changes but they're
all to do with quoting etc. and making sure that empty parameters
aren't causing problems. There's no real change in logic that I can
see.
A typical change is:-
< case "$RETVAL" in
---
case "${RETVAL}" in
even similar change can in some cases change the results.
