It's honoured already, isn't it (current Intrepid)?

without VPN:
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.105.0   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     1      0        0 eth0

with VPN set to route 192.168.1.0/24 and 92.61.80.0/27:
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface

See, the default gateway is still the original eth0.

Honestly, VPN (PPTP) is working rather well - so long as there is an
interface driven by NM. If there is none (because I have set up the
bridging in /etc/network/interfaces) then NM is 'dead'.
