Description
This is probably over-pedantic, but shouldn't the Blogger importer say "Blog*Spot" to be politically correct?

Shouldn't it just be changed to "Blogger"?

I disagree. Blog*Spot and Blogger aren't synonymous. You can be using Blogger while not using Blog*Spot. Google uses "Blog*Spot" a fair bit (as far as I can remember).
About a year ago when I researched a related issue #3490, I found that Blog*Spot was seldom used in their literature any more. In considering this issue here, I would think it might be best to say "it must be hosted on blogspot.com", because that is the most explicit instruction.
I just added a patch to include the suggestion by lloydbudd, never know!

Sorry, need to actually attach the patch.
