You need a Router with two WAN ports! On a router I would configure two
Static Routes one default router for the main DSL and one for the backup
DSL that is weighted to a lower priority. This is known as surprisingly
Weighted Static Routes.

What are you currently using as a WAN router? You can use Debian as a
router! You can configure two default Gateway's with the primary using a
metric of 600 and the backup with a metric of 700. This will require two
NICs.

I do not recommend connecting to the Internet without at-least a WAN
State-full Packet Inspection SPI Firewall Router.
