If you really wanted to you could possibly use cdebconf's transled list
features to provide an "english translation" that uses the same text for
items while being backed by a real list that uses unique lines for
everything. I don't know if that would work, it probably depend's in the
implementation, and possibly on the frontend (this would be impossible
to do with debconf's dialog frontend, for instance). I doubt you'll get
better support from either debconf.

Have you considered just bringing the "hda" down to the free space
line?
hda3 primary 2.1 GB B F ext3 /usr
hda pri/log 4.4 GB FREE SPACE
hda6 logical 3.6 GB
hda5 logical 10.0 GB ext3
hda8 logical 19.9 GB K ext2 /home
IDE2 master - Maxtor 6Y4L0 (14.4 GB)
hdc5 logical 10.0 GB ext3
hdc pri/log 4.4 GB FREE SPACE
LVM VG probgr, LV home - 4.2 MB
probgr/home 4.2 MB reiserfs
