Importing OFX/QFX file for placeholder account with multiple sub-accounts

I have my Assets:Chequing account set as a placeholder account, with
multiple sub-accounts where I track my actual saving/spending/etc.

At the bank end, I just have a single chequing account (they don't
support virtual sub-accounts).

When importing a OFX/QFX file for Assets:Chequing, it only prompts me
for source of the transaction and proceeds to write the transaction
into the (read only) chequing account.

I then have to go through each transaction in the chequing account,
jump to the other account which holds the other half of the
transaction and 'fix' it there, pointing it to the correct
Asset:Chequing:SubAccount.

Is this something that is expanded in a future version, or am I
missing something here (entirely possible)?

(I'm using gnucash 2.0.5 on Debian)

Cheers,

 Iain
