This does not set a default route. To set the default route you would
do:
ip route add default via 192.168.10.254

If you are using DHCP, your dhcp client is probably setting your default
route.
Assuming you really do want a default route that differs from what you
are assigned via DHCP, it's probably best to do this sort of
configuration in /etc/network/interfaces rather than in rc.local. That
way, you could do something like:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
post-up ip route add default via 192.168.10.254
