For example, it would be very strange (perhaps "illegal") to package something called the 6.0.1 doc that came from some random SHA in an untagged tree.

I don't understand why this discussion is so difficult to understand.
I agree with Jon and don't see any problem for distros. As far as I
can see the point is that the documentation package version shouldn't
be logically dependent on the KiCad packages or vice versa. You can
have package kicad-v6.0-documentation version, say, 20222001 [date],
can't you? You don't have to give it the version number 6.0.x. If a
git tag is needed for technical reasons, let's have automatic tagging
which adds a tag each day.
