You can build multiple binary packages from one source package. Desktop distributions are not likely to do this for something as small as iproute2. But embedded distributions can easily break up iproute2 into a number of smaller packages, as you suggested, tipc, devlink, tc, bridge, ss, etc. Openwrt does exactly this: https://github.com/openwrt-mirror/openwrt/blob/master/package/network/utils/iproute2/Makefile Andrew
