Yes, you are missing a META file, that "registers" camlzip with
findlib, which is in turn used by the batteries configuration
machinery to decide whether camlzip is installed or not.

Looks like is more the fact that your camlzip "upstream" is not
shipping META, while both Debian and GODI are doing that. You can take
the META file from one of us/them and add it to your camlzip dir.
