Yes, this is intended. You unpack it when you need it (with tar xfvz ) 
and it is also easier to handle by the packages manager.

I don't know tkdesk, but if it uses a red hat icon for tarballs, then
I would call it a bug. Use the bug package to report it.

It you install the rpm package, it will create these directories, as
you can check with dpkg -S /usr/src/redhat.
