It does not make sense to me to put it in this wizard. This wizard
does not (and will not) handle other "modifications to an existing
database", such as e.g.:

 - adding a table to an existing database
 - adding a column to an existing database

IMHO "import table from CSV" should be UI-wise close to "create new
table".
