`:Helptags` does not work if script is never run

Now that Vim has native package support, I don't always call pathogen#infect(), but I would still like to use the :Helptags command. But because the autoload script is never executed, the command is never added.
Maybe the :command Helptags ... should be in plugin/pathogen.vim? The downside of this is installation is no longer as super-simple.
Alternatively, the whole file could move into plugin/. Most people run it first thing in their .vimrc anyway. My particular scenario happens to be the worst case for needlessly loading.
:Helptags was always intended to be called interactively. If you really must generate help tags on every startup, you can call pathogen#helptags().
I misread, you do want to call it interactively. You can runtime! autoload/pathogen.vim in your vimrc. I'm not changing changing the installation method this late in the game.
You misunderstand. I want to add the command on every startup, not call it.

Fair enough.
