This is weird, having the two entries.

Because it's the system does not send it through ppp0.

FWIW, I have an ip-up script to add the correct route on my setup here.  I
admit I've never looked at this closely, and as long as my puny windows users
don't give me too much gas (which means that It Works), I'm happy.

It might be worth filling a PR.  Assign it to 'cube', so I can remember to
have a look at it when I have more time.  Meanwhile, the ip-up trick should
do.
