Mostly they do; check the release.something file for installation instructions (e.g. libc-5.3.12 comes wth a textfile release.lbc-5.3.12).
But you can check manually as well, by using tar ztvf something.tar.gz (or ztvvf [note the double 'v'] - I never figured out the difference) which will show filenames within an archive. -- Johan Wiltink http://wit389310.student.utwente.nl/ -- I am. I think.
