Unable to install on a GPT partition table

I have a Dell Inpiron Mini 1012 netbook and when booting in live mode, I can access the windows drives using nautilus. But when I try to install, the partition screen shows the whole disk as free space. fdisk -l lists the partitions but warns the disk has GPT partition table. Is support for GPT partition table planned in installer? Does it use Debian Installer internally?
See attachment for a screenshot.

You could see whether Trisquel 7's partitioning tool better handles your case: http://devel.trisquel.info/makeiso/iso/
And if that's a no-go then perhaps try a gparted live media.
1) backup your stuff, just in case
2) get gparted http://gparted.org/livecd.php
3) boot off it and prepare the partitions, e.g. a simple setup would be:
*a swap partition size of your RAM if you intend to hibernate
*at least a 10 gig ext4 (for root)
*rest (for your home), xfs
4) then try the install again and choose manual partitioning

Well, Trisquel is based on Ubuntu which is based on Debian so kinda sorta yes.
