Eventually I was able to trigger the prompt. Thanks for the information.

It actually happens when partman (the partition tool) starts, if an
already installed system which boots from legacy mode is detected.

I think I never met this situation during my previous installations ;
either there was no other system installed, either the other system
booted from EFI mode too. This time by chance there was a previous
Debian installation in legacy mode.
