I dont think there is, currently a correct extension for this. Since the
file ends in bzip2, by its extension it is a bzip file, but with mime
sniffing the file is also a tar archive.

You know that by right clicking, and selecting open with you get the
options for both types of files.

I believe these bug reports should go against shared-mime-info package
in bugzilla.freedesktop.org.

I could be wrong on both accounts though...
