Ubiquity is the Ubuntu installer.
It has been a while since I did a fresh Debian install, but the Debian
Installer Manual [0] says:
The latter becomes important when booting debian-installer on a UEFI
system with CSM because debian-installer checks whether it was
started on a BIOS- or on a native UEFI system and installs the
corresponding bootloader.
That seems to indicate that you should not even have to tell the Debian
installer, as it will detect whether to use GPT or not.
