Good catch. Yes, we haven't packaged the above mentioned binaries, cbq 
and shared libraries (q_netem.so) here.

IMHO, we shouldn't add more complexity in recipe or new recipess for this. 
We should use the iproute2 recipe to install all these binaries.

Yes. These binaries were not packaged in jethro as well. I am not sure about the 
historical reason behind it. Since jethro can't accept "new binaries" at
this stage, I guess, we should update the iproute2 recipe present in the master branch.
