How best to treat owl:import statements in alignments

Description:
Someone (Maxime I think ) raised a commented in the meeting this morning about how import statements should work in alignments.

We should do this consistently, and I suggest we use the dul alignment as a use case to set the pattern for the others we are planning.

Right now, for the dul alignment here https://github.com/w3c/sdw/blob/gh-pages/ssn/ssn_separated/dul-alignment.owl I unilaterally chose to do as follows:


<https://www.w3.org/ns/ssn/dul> rdf:type owl:Ontology ;

owl:imports <http://www.ontologydesignpatterns.org/ont/dul/DUL.owl> .

That is, import the external ontology but not import ssn explicitly. This made sense to me at the time but may not to others.

Should it be different?
