 Neither did I !

 I've done it by hand, editing the dump of the table. The only requirement
 I've seen about object_id is to be uniq (it seems to me it is created by
 something like : md5(uniqid(rand())). Instead, I simply put a number,
 incremented for each row, and it seems to work perfectly.

 But be sure that the 'name' field is not empty, because the only way to edit
 a contact is by clicking on the 'name' field after a search....

 Hope this would help....

 Correct me if i wrote something wrong...
