I think, customizing the properties of existing fields should be provided
exclusively on the 3rd wizard page. Have in mind, that sometimes more than 1
column is to be used for primary key, and most likely VARCHAR is preset for
existing fields, which should not fit for primary key in most cases.

So I would suggest for the 1st page:

[ ] Create additional primary key column
    Name [        ]   (existing columns can be customized on 3rd wizard page)

+1
See alternative from attachment 64014 at bug 51903.

+1, but add (existing columns can be set as primary key on 3rd wizard page)
