Checked on RHEL and we have the same issue there too.
before :

configure: error: Could not find cups!  
configure exiting with result code 1

after adding my fix  :

configure: error: Could not find cups! You might be able to fix this by running 'sudo yum install cups-devel'. 
configure exiting with result code 1

So yes, the other distros/pkg handlers had the same issue.
