See htdocs/docs/legacy.html:

	 Importing customer data 
	           Manually 
	                Add a new customer 
	                Add one or more packages for this customer 
	                Enter a package by clicking on the package number 
	                Pick the `Link to existing' option 
	           Batch - You will need to write a script to import your
			particular legacy data. You can use
	           eg/TEMPLATE_cust_main.import as a starting point.

Such utility would be specific to a certain type of customer data; which
doesn't come in a mostly standard format like a passwd file.

That notwithstanding the process could be made easier.
