Background: On my Debian Stretch machine at home, I've noticed my DNS lookup times are pretty slow, and have concluded that the culprit is dnsmasq - since if I take it down, name resolution becomes > 10x faster (no multi-second delays).

My first guess would be that you're mixing YUM repositories. Notice that the RPM for clamav as a .rf. in its name which signifies that it's a rpmforge package. I'd confirm that clamd also is a rpmforge package and not coming from one of the other repos.

For the purpose of this problem I have decided to lock Thunar to current version in Muon.

Let's say, there is a Debian package named Foo, whose version 1.1.1 depends on a package named Bar.
Imagine that there is a newer version of Foo==1.1.2, which doesn't depend on Bar anymore.

Your package Bar has probably ended in the state manual rather than auto as can be confirmed if found in the output of the command:
