For transcoded/output packets from the library, I agree 100%.

For demuxed packets -- I am not completely sure, there are arguments for
strictly keeping the original timestamps and also for removing wraps (I
favor the latter, because the demuxer knows about pts_wrap_bits and
generally about quirks of the input file format).

For the index entries, IMHO those are only file_pos/timestamp pairs
therefore strictly coupled to an input file.  Not much we can do about
_these_ timestamps, unless the complete file would be read which is
of course ridiculous.
