Ok then here's a patch that adds the status flags suggested by Reimar
D?ffinger. It is a generalized solution of what I wanted so I'm happy with it.
These flags can be incrementally added to any decoder if needed.

(And yes repeat_pict is set correctly, I never said otherwise. But it's not
suitable to solve this problem because a frame duration of 0 is needed
for a first-field-only packet and you can't sign that with this flag,
by definition. That's it.)
