The tags file is currently used by dballe (a reverse build-dep of wreport) to build its documentation. I have no problem moving it to a different location than doc/, but if it breaks reproducibility I have a bigger problem than its install location. Is it the first case of doxygen tags being shipped by a library and used to build documentation of libraries using it? I wonder what best practices in this case would be.
