There is a simple method for this.
Define your important routes as static routes and run ampr-ripd.
They won't be deleted if their RIP counterparts dissapear since ampr-ripd is
able to delete only the routes set by itself (the ones that show up as proto
44 under 'ip route list').

Aside: For the RIP function, perhaps there's a way to introduce a method
for RIP to detect incomplete updates. For example, perhaps the program
could be augmented to allow the user to define a list of important routes
that can't be deleted and, if missing from the update, would mean there's
something wrong with the update. Just a random thought.
