Zoekt supports starting a custom ctags binary which can be useful when the default settings cause ctags to fail (e.g when a language isn't available on the host system)

These are quite detailed instructions. We already mention the name of the package in the current description. I think it would be better for us to just implement the linked issue. But we should also bump the version of ctags we use to be honest and adjust the language list accordingly :) I'll do the latter today.
