Hello, I have the same problem. Attached is a patch which fix it. You can find package with the patch for i386 at http://people.videolan.org/~xtophe/debian/
It only set the metric for the gateway route. i don't know if the metric should be set for the local network. but anyway that's a dhcp bug/feature not ifupdown. -- Xtophe
