To implement this I would need to create a init.d script to add
these routes using the same file but with a 'reject' or 'any' in the
interface. It is doable and I might get around to do it. Just so I don't
forget I'll submit your comments as a wishlist bug to ifupdown-extra.
The only problem with the second one is that those kind of routes will
get lost when when the interface they are associated with is downed and
will not come back up again when you run '/etc/init.d/networking start'

Actually, static routes can be added without specifying an interface. I just
did it that way since you typically want to do it per interface so that they
are added when the interface is manually brought up.
