Because as stated above in:

 # file linux-source-4.1.tar.xz
 linux-source-4.1.tar.xz: POSIX tar archive (GNU)

it's a plain tar file and not further compressed, so the file
extension is misleading.

(I don't know why that's actually the case, I'll try to keep an eye
on it for our next kernel build.)
