import_steps.xml is deprecated, register the handlers in ZCML.
Handlers registrations are global and not specific to a profile, so it
didn't make sense to keep them inside a profile.

You could maybe configure two profiles for your package. Have the
first only do your custom step and depend on the second "real" profile
via a dependency in metadata.xml. Maybe that works. Otherwise there's
no explicit support for ordering a step before another step. Steps
only have dependencies which cause them to execute after other steps.
