I would highly recommend you to use cbq-init that you can find here, and
that you should just drop in your /etc/init.d folder:

http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/cbqinit/cbq.init-v0.7.3

As you see it's a single file script. Even if it's redhat oriented (it's
configured in /etc/sysconfig), it works perfectly under Debian as well
and does what you need with a very simple configuration. I have found
that a lot more easy than using tc directly.
