I would actually want to propose a different import strategy:
- Add the CRAB IDs to all existing addresses in Flanders
- Import the rest or large parts of CRAB in one big import

The first part would actually be the hard part, and would need
to be done carefully.  It will probably require large parts to
be checked manually.  We would probably first need to fix our
existing data, which I think is useful to do anyway.

Therefor it would be useful that if you're going to import data
from CRAB that you don't complicate that and already import the
IDs.  It should then be possible to combine both ways of importing.

PS: Do we actually already have clearance to import this data?
