Using conan to build Qt from source does not build Qt5Help, Cmake cannot find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5Help"

I am trying to use the qt conan package qt/5.6.2@osechet/stable to add qt to an existing project. For this project I need the Qt help package.

I have:

[requires]
qt/5.6.2@osechet/stable

[options]
qt:tools=True

in my conanfile.

How do I get the package to build with the Qt5Help package?

I have been unable to find Qt documentation on how Qt5Help is built to modify the package recipe. It is not listed as a module in the repository despite being listed here: http://doc.qt.io/qbs/qt-modules.html on the modules list.

The Qt5Help package is contained by building the tools submodule. The reason this did not work originally is that the conan package for 5.6.2 does not have the tools submodule option defined. To solve this I build my own conan package for 5.6.2 from the 5.8.0 master branch of the osechet/conan-qt repo.
