That only holds true if zip doesn't have any side effects, like storing
the creation date or similar.

I'd rather propose to add a checksum using the method outlined in the
SPDX specification, version 1.2, section 4.7 [1] (which is basically a
hash of the concatenation of a sorted list of hashes of files in a
package).
