This is the actual issue, the dnsmasq.service file will unconditionally
execute dnsmasq-resolvconf-helper, while it's only installed if the
PACKAGECONFIG resolved is set.

Could you add the line 

ExecStartPost=/usr/bin/dnsmasq-resolvconf-helper start

to dnsmasq.service conditionally on the PACKAGECONFIG resolved? (Using sed
 is an option).

No, I was slightly wrong...

This line should obviously not be here, as you're actually installing
dnsmasq-resolvconf-helper, if the PACKAGECONFIG resolved is set.
