For a while, Red Hat was fetching source and recompressing it to bz2 to
gain a little space.  I don't think anybody is doing it now, but this
may be a remnant from that time (since the JPEG reference source hasn't
changed in a long time).

I would say that at this point it would be good to switch back to the
original (pristine) source; saving a few K by recompressing isn't worth
it.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
