I don't like it, I definitely do not doubt the relevance (I did look into
the issue several times), I just want to point out that once the issue
is fixed (from our pov), it is possible that the requested feature
(remuxing of "interlaced" j2k) will still not work, and never will.

Otoh, it may be possible to only fix the remuxing without supporting
the content;-(
(the worst case, imo)
