I had misunderstood that your dns resolution wasn't working.

dnsmasq gets its upstream dns servers from /etc/resolv.conf unless you
have set it to get them from elsewhere in /etc/dnsmasq.conf.

# Change this line if you want dns to get its upstream servers from
# somewhere other that /etc/resolv.conf
#resolv-file=

A "dig +trace debian.org" should display your upstream dns servers.
