We certainly agree on this.

That's where I disagree. I don't think we should immediately put
pictures into albums. But that's probably because we don't have the same
use case for albums. For me, not all pictures need to be in an album. So
we're back to the definition of an album ;)

So I think the question really is: should pictures be put in an album on
import? Maybe giving a more precise definition of album will answer this
question of course.
