A solution would be to generate helptags at buildtime and then own the generated files:

$ vim -u NONE -c "helptags /path/to/your/plugin/doc" -c q
-u NONE to skip vimrc loading

Set vim as a build dependancy

the produced file should be named 'tag'

with coc.nvim package it's impossible to find the help for instance :h coc-configuration since helptags are not generated (see :h helptags) :helptags ALL can't be executed since the plugin is in the system-wide path (/usr/share) Executing the generation at post install time result in apt/dnf not owning the files generated and thus letting artifacts.
