Nak. ctypes is part of the Python standard library and therefore the
dependency needs to be on the main package(s).
BTW, binutils is usually included by default in all but the most
minimal base installs, so I'm not quite sure why you object so much to
this requirement.

Is it though? With both Debian and Ubuntu, binutils is a suggested package, not
a required one:
- https://packages.debian.org/stretch/python3.5
- https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/python3.6
