We cant, because it isnt ...
a demuxer for example can keep a copy of the packet and then free it later
more specifically:

if(pkt->destruct == av_destruct_packet)
    pkt->destruct= NULL; // not shared -> must keep original from being freed
else
    av_dup_packet(&this_pktl->pkt);  //shared -> must dup
