Another option would be to update the text to mention that "Use existing partition sizes" isn't a sensible option if you're starting with a blank disk. Otherwise, the option sort of a looks like a shortcut to get a working install without having to dig into partitioning complexities.
For reference, the current prompt looks like this:

Unfortunately it doesn't look like there's much room to add more text there, without that text getting hidden under the prompt.
