Yes, you're right, but I think this is misleading...

It could be changed as :

netconfig 
      checks the netmask, hostname, IP address and broadcast address for
      the current host. The correct values for the netmask and broadcast
      address are set if there is an error. The defaultroute is also added
      to the static routing table. This does not apply to DHCP clients.

      address are set if there is an error. The defaultroute is only matched
      against the static routing table and a warning message is issued if
      they differ. This does not apply to DHCP clients.



defaultroute
    Dynamical routing is not configurable in cfengine, but for machines
    with static routing tables it is useful to check that a default route
    is configured to point to the nearest gateway or router. The syntax
    for this statement is simply:
