If the only static route you want is the default route, then it goes into
'/etc/network/interfaces' with the stanza that configures the interface.
For example, with the following interfaces file, the 'gateway' line
specifies that a default gateway that will be added to the routing table
through the eth0 network interface. The Debian network initialization
script (/etc/init.d/network) will create the default route as you have
been doing manually when the 'gateway' line is in the interface
definition. So in this example a default route to the router "192.168.1.1"
would be added to the routing table when the network interfaces are
initialized.
