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

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.
