to import the image history, and use SpecialImport for the description
page only.
No, I think it makes more sense if Special:Import handles the full,
proper import itself.

I agree, Special:Import should copy the full image history as well as the
full page history. The way it is at the moment just feels broken, and
making it a two stage process won't fix that.
We may also want an 'include files when relevant' check-box that can be
turned off for those occasions when you just want the text, although I can't
really think of a use for that - at least not for the way we use image pages
on WM projects.
