The installed.db seems to always list packages as being tar.bz2 even
when they are tar.xz.
Is there any reason for this? Or is it a bug?

This is an old thread, but it appears this issue was never answered and
persists. For example, /etc/setup/installed.db has entries like this:
gawk gawk-4.2.0-1.tar.bz2 0
which which-2.20-2.tar.bz2 0
but not all the files are actually bz2:
