No, it means no such thing. That kind of source is where you find film percentages of less than 100% in the D2V. And if the film percentage is less than the 95% often given as the point below which you shouldn't use 'Forced Film' (although I think it's an arbitrary and misleading figure), you're almost guaranteed to wind up with some interlaced frames and some jerky-playing places.
What's the big deal? Just make the D2V using 'Honor Pulldown Flags' and IVTC it if it's a mix of hard and soft telecine, no matter the percentage. That's much better than going through the whole conversion process and later noticing a few interlaced frames here and there.
