see flags on r.statistics:

-c Cover values extracted from the category labels of the cover map

Setting the -c flag the category lables of the covering raster layer 
will be used. This is nice to avoid the GRASS limitation to interger in 
raster maps because using category values floating point numbers can be 
stored. [1]
