Just to make sure you understand the current behavior:

- import_steps.xml is used for registering available setup handlers, not 
available setup steps.

- Configuration files (like catalog.xml) represent the import steps 
available in the selected profile.

- If the file is not available that means the import step is not 
available and the setup handler has nothing to do.

Your install profile just contains files for steps that should be 
available. Right?

So what goes wrong if you select 'all steps'? If setup handlers do 
anything without finding their configuration files in the current 
profile the handlers are broken.
