No. One of the goals up upgrade steps is to have a means to *avoid*
having to apply the complete profile, as that can have unwanted side
effects. Probably the best known example is the catalog.xml: if you
specify an index there, then this index will be empty after applying
the profile (or just this import step), even when it already existed.

The profile attribute marks this upgrade step as being an upgrade for
the ATMEL.policy:default profile and not for say the Products.Poi
profile.
If you want to reapply the complete profile in an upgrade step, you
can do that like this:
def applyProfile(context):
# In an upgrade step context is portal_setup
context.runAllImportStepsFromProfile(PROFILE_ID)
In you case PROFILE_ID is probably profile-ATMEL.policy:default.
To apply just one import step, do something like this; this is taken
from Products.Poi:
def run_workflow_step(context):
context.runImportStepFromProfile(PROFILE_ID, 'catalog')
# Run the update security on the workflow tool.
logger.info('Updating security settings. This may take a while...')
wf_tool = getToolByName(context, 'portal_workflow')
wf_tool.updateRoleMappings()
logger.info('Done updating security settings.')
BTW, this post of mine to the CMF mailing list with some notes about
which source and destination numbers to use may be of interest:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg06107.html
Specifying source="*" like you do will always make this step available
on the Upgrades tab of portal_setup, even right after you have run
it. At least that is the case with Plone 3.0-3.3.
Plus, not shown in that post, it is conceptually better to just use
integers as the source and destination number. metadata.xml and
version.txt need not have anything in common. I would say:
- set metadata.xml on 3
- use source="2"
- use destination="3"
It may be good to play around with these numbers and see what happens
in the UI.
Cheers,
