If I remember correctly Lightroom always applies a degree of sharpening to a raw image on import. I'm also fairly certain you can change it - even if it's creating an import preset to set everything to 0.
I posted a thread on this very topic a couple of weeks ago called " Update to LightRoom and ACR ". It contains a link which provides all the relevant information. So I now have presets for imports for all my cameras and this is working well. Although my main reason was to apply my bespoke profiles, you can set other things such as lens correction and sharpening etc. I have significantly reduced the default sharpening as I wish to use Topaz Sharpen AI later in my process. When they introduced this new preset arrangement, they doubled the default sharpening.
