I didn't know you could do this - have multiple stanzas for the same
interface and IP version.

I would have added some up and pre-down commands to the slaac stanza:

iface eth0 inet6 auto
   up ip addr add 2a01:.../64 dev eth0
   up ip route add 0::/0 dev eth0 nexthop via fe80::1
   pre-down ip -6 route del ...
   pre-down ip -6 addr del ...

(although I think for ipv6 the kernel deletes the routes and ips when
the interface goes down anyway (caused me grief trying to rename pppoe
interfaces to my isp)
