That may not be wrong (apart from Paul’s comment) but I wonder how useful it is:
No matter if the raster contains one field, two interlaced fields or a 
progressive frame, the filter will always see an input frame.
The fact that there is metadata that may signal the content is also not 
necessarily helpful as this metadata is typically wrong (often signalling 
fields when a frame is provided). That’s why the filter ignores the information 
by default.

(If you provide only one field, no FFmpeg deinterlacer will produce useful 
output.)

You can request that the filter outputs one instead of two rasters for one 
input raster.
