do you mean "rc.dnsmasq" ?
if so, how does it return status if it cannot be started?
If you mean that the script returns "0" status when dnsmasq cannot be
started, and this is a problem, then why not remove all links to
init.d/rc.dnsmasq, and perhaps chmod a-x rc.dnsmasq, if not delete it?
it is too easy to do.
if dnsmasq is installed and executable, and that is unwanted, then it
can also be disabled as above.
