I'll take a gander at this.  I quick perusal of route.c has me thinking
it's a debug or verbose switch.  Have to do a bit more research though.

The man page for /sbin/route in Section 8 doesn't have a definition for the -d parameter.

Fix: 

Add description for -d (Delete ?)
How-To-Repeat: man 8 route

I emailed ume@freebsd.org which according to the cvs records is the
person who has committed the last several changes to route.c  The -d
switch is definitely the debug switch, but what it actually does is
beyond my ken.
