Fedora has a boot option that forces the installer to recognize a drive as GPT, can this be added to Debians installer?

2018-02-22 Thread Indo Neh
There is a boot option in Fedora 'inst.gpt' which forces the Fedora 26
Anaconda installer to recognize a drive as a GPT drive for the purposes of
the Anaconda installer setting up the drive with a GPT partition table.

https://rhinstaller.github.io/anaconda/boot-options.html#inst-gpt

Could this somehow be added to Ubiquity as this option is useful for anyone
who wants to set up a drive on a BIOS-based system as a GPT drive without
having to manually partition the drive after manually setting it as GPT? It
makes the automated drive setup (e.g. encrypted LVM setup) very easy and
painless.
(I'm not subscribed to the list)

I didn't realise people would get so stuck on names, by the 2nd email it
should have been obvious I meant this about Debian not Ubuntu.
