Up until now one could not even guarantee that if a distribution actually provided a version number that the content would match the same data from another distribution.
You'll *never* be able to *guarantee* that, 100%, with anything short of a signature; you'll only be able to hope that the distribution provider doesn't do something stupid such as change the source files from what's in tzdata2017b without changing the version number to "2017b-frobozzlinux10.17".
