F Droid is as close as you're going to get. They take open source projects and build them independently and then publish. So if you trust f Droid, then the code you get from f Droid is the right code, and the binary you get from Android is the right binary.
Fdroid is great but OPs question is even more important then, installing an installer app without knowing its legitimacy could lead to many apps being infected.
Sure, its about who you trust in this scenario. once you introduce a compiler it becomes unprovable. So what your threat model is, and who you can trust.
