That's the intended behaviour, since ctypes-foreign is just a virtual
package that determines whether the foreign subpackage should built as
part of ctypes.

The opam package is called 'ctypes-foreign' (with a hyphen), but the
ocamlfind package is called 'ctypes.foreign' (with a dot), so the
command you need is

   ocamlfind query ctypes.foreign
