I tried different ways with escaped spaces but without succes.

A properly setup non-framebufer console can support non-break spaces
and UTF-8. I think the following commands are sufficient:
for tty in /dev/tty[0-9]* /dev/vc/*; do
echo -ne '\e(K' >$tty
echo -ne '\e%G' >$tty
done
# kbd_mode -u
In principle I can look what needs to be changed/added to the
installer in order to setup properly the non-framebufer consoles;
unfortunately not during this and the next weeks because I have to go
on a short mission in Switzerland.
On the other hand we can not expect from every serial console to
support UTF-8. Because of that on serial consoles partman may not use
non ASCII-symbols.
