I had a short look at the code, but I'm not sure I understand what it 
actually does:

AFAICS the catalog.xml in the profile is a normal catalog setup file. 
The default import step for this file should be registered and updates 
the catalog if all steps are run.

importUnicodeLexicon is a second import step for the same setup file. 
Looks like this step updates the catalog again. The thing that's 
different is the fact it reindexes the modified indexes.

Is that correct? What am I missing? What did not work with the default 
import step (besides reindexing)?
