I though that maybe Matej wanted to use both uplinks in paralell,
depending on the chosen source prefix. I think in multi-access networks
this might be useful, if you want to explicitly use, e.g. your LTE uplink.

I use this setup rather extensively while working on a network layer
socket prototype that should automagically choose the source prefix
based on further preferences like network router bandwidth or RTT to a
given target. That way it might be possible for an application to use an
uplink based on application preferences for a network, e.g. a streaming
client or a VOIP app.
Using source policy routing allows me to manage one routing table per
announced prefix and have a default gateway per prefix.

RDNSS and DNSSL are still a little problem though, because resolvconf
only uses the top three nameservers reported from all interfaces. Maybe
adding prefix information via a hook script will help me on that.
