You're right. I've modified the string : it now say :
"You are attempting to upgrade to Koha 2.2.0."

fixed in RC5 I think. I don't see any warning now.

hehe... you didn't read well what was on screen :
***********************************
You can import MARC settings for:
1 MARC21
2 UNIMARC
N none

NOTE: If you choose N, nothing will be added, and you must create them 
all yourself. Only choose N if you want to use a MARC format not listed 
here, such as DANMARC. We would like to hear from you if you do.

UPGRADE : If you UPGRADE your version from a previous 2.x.x, the right 
choice here is N (None) to preserve your local MARC setup.
***********************************
I put some *** around UPGRADE to make this more clear ;-)

No prob, a bugreport is usefull even without the patch ;-)
