Nope. Then it wouldn't set up a route. For instance I'm setting up
ifconfig.1.eth0 (SERVICE ipv4-static, ADDRESS 10.0.44.33/16) without a
default gateway. Not needed.
Then in the next ifconfig.2.eth0 I want to setup a static route towards
192.168.0.0/16 through a router which is on 10.0.5.5/16 I have to put
10.0.5.5 as the gateway for this route
with SERVICE ipv4-static-route and TYPE network and ADDRESS
192.168.0.0/16. Because of the /sbin/ifup script it won't be "ip r add
192.168.0.0/16 via 10.0.5.5 dev eth0" but it will be
"ip r add default via 10.0.5.5 dev eth0". But 10.0.5.5 is not my default
gateway it's just a gateway for 192.168.0.0/16.
I could circumvent that by renaming the ifconfig file that has the
default gateway in it to be in the first place in the directory. The
script as it is now with default gateway in /sbin/ifup 
will always put the very first GATEWAY that it comes accross as the
default gateway. In my opinion the part for default gateway should go
back to ipv4-static.

Yep. Know that. But in my setup this wouldn't help either.
