Hello!

	I'd like to know, if it is possible to configure networking in Debian
headless box (no gui), so the USB 4G dongle will hijack default route
from ethernet interface after plug-in, and return default route after
disconnection.
	Is it possible ?

In general, yes.

If you are using plain /etc/network/interfaces, you have a "pre"
and "post" command available for each interface. 

"ifplugd" automates that nicely.

"ifscheme" is a package on top of interfaces which offers
labelled configuration sets. "home" and "work", for instance.

ifupdown-multi handles multiple default routes

wicd can handle all sorts of interfaces, and does not require an
X11 display.
