The reason why the Import from F-Spot menu option is there irrespective
of whether you've ever had F-Spot installed or not is because it can
load an F-Spot database from anywhere so you could for example plug in
the HDD of an old computer that had F-Spot installed and import the
photos that are present on there.

One thing I would like to do when time permits is to re-factor the
F-Spot code to use the new SPIT (Shotwell Pluggable Interfaces
Technology) architecture so that it becomes a plugin that you can enable
or disable at will. That would also provide the infrastructure for
others to write plugins to import from other photo libraries, as suggest
by Lars above. I suspect that would be a good little project for GUADEC
week :-)
