Virt-v2v will now refuse to do this at all (except if you "trick" it as I did in my blog posting), but if we allowed it then it would make all kinds of modifications inside the guest which you don't need and have at least the potential to break things. The import-to-ovirt.pl script is/was intended as a simple import script which you should use instead in the case where guests already run on KVM and therefore don't need driver etc conversion/ installation. As Nir said in the other reply, oVirt 4.0 has native import functionality and the import script is not needed at all for KVM -> oVirt imports. Virt-v2v should only be used for foreign hypervisor imports, such as VMware, Xen or Hyper-V to oVirt.
