I discussed this with upstream, they don't want to recognize this "gw"
keyword, and with good reason (it'd break existing valid usage).

I think you're right.  Please could you just use:

           if [ ${uname} = "GNU/kFreeBSD" ] ; then
               while /lib/freebsd/route del -net 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 dev
$interface; do :; done
           else
               while /sbin/route del default gw 0.0.0.0 dev
$interface; do :; done
           fi

Afterwards, we can switch back to /sbin/route when the transition is finished.
