I mean the respective library's -devel package, e.g. zlib-devel for
find_library('z'), etc.

Nak.  ctypes is part of the Python standard library and therefore the
dependency needs to be on the main package(s).

minimal base installs, so I'm not quite sure why you object so much to
this requirement.
