So I presumed the same thing about the collections with automatic management option. And so it does : update_device_database_collections - category='xx' books=41
And that means you have the collection management options set in the driver. If you don't want to do this from calibre, then turn it of.

But, also look at the options. You don't have to use "series" as the collection column. You can use anything. Including a custom column that you maintain with a list of collection names.

I should have add (and that's why I supposed I have this problem) that the series names in my Calibre are not all the same as the categories names of my Kobo

As about the debug log: it contains more information about the contents of my Kobo then I 'm ready to go public.
I can understand that. You can send it to me in a PM. But, as a starting point, the lines I am interested in look like:

Code:
Job: 3 Get list of books on device started

DEBUG:    6.7 KoboTouch:books - oncard='None', prefix='F:\'

DEBUG:    6.8 KoboTouch:books - prefs['manage_device_metadata']= on_connectJob:

If you plug the device in shortly after starting calibre in debug mode, these will be fairly early in the log. The number after the "DEBUG:" is the number of seconds after calibre started, so it will change.
