That's true, we don't take anything from the blank template on import at
the moment.
Although this approach makes sense to some degree, because the blank
template is used as a base for new VMs unless stated otherwise, it is
debatable whether this approach should be used for imported VMs - some may
find such a relation between the (remote) imported VMs and the (local)
blank template odd/unexpected .

Unfortunately, there is no way to set those defaults at the moment. You
will have to edit the VMs after the import process is done. There are some
plans to simplify that process though.
