The tools allow you to select what binary packages are placed into the
image. 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:
