It's probably the ppp scripts or the dhcp client doing the
rewriting. Unfortunately, I haven't had a ppp connection in so long, I
forget how to fix it :-P If you look at the scripts invoked by pppd,
you'll probably find the one that writes it (sorry I can't be more
specific). Instead of editing it, though, see if it uses the ifup/ifdown
interface and just add a script to /etc/network/if-up.d to add the line
that you want.
