You can add a string at the end of `org-latex-packages-alist' that will
be inserted in the header.

I don't think it matters much to load minted even if you don't use it.
Even if it did, you could always define classes with and without minted.
It's a bit troublesome, though, so I suggest to
use #+LATEX_HEADER_EXTRA: instead.

If you don't use minted for a particular export, you don't write
#+LATEX_HEADER_EXTRA: \usemintedstyle{name} in the first place.

Unlike to minted, hyperref is not really optional, as it belongs to
`org-latex-default-packages-alist'. OTOH, minted may not even be
available on the machine. So there's no reason to show the same level of
support.

Anyway, since there is no reliable way to detect if a package will be
required at Org level, this patch cannot work properly.

Note that you can also write a filter that will insert
"\usemintedstyle..." when "\usepackage{minted}" is detected in the
output.
