I googled GPT disk and this was certainly a UEFI disk or partition or
whatever. But formatted the whole disk and then created the
partitions I wanted with GParted and then installed Jessie.

So maybe the disk has reverted or something? But it has only done this
in the last update. prior to that there was no problem.

The system boots all right anyway, so I'll see what happens in the
future. I might have to reformat the whole disk again and reinstall
Jessie.

I'll see what happens.

Thanks for the explanation which I didn't really understand.
