debconf has no facility for adding extra buttons.

Yes - in fact none of the others are supposed to be shown as
/dev/disk/by-id/ paths!  It's supposed to resolve them all with
'readlink -f' before display, on the basis that even though by-id is
better for storage most people will be more familiar with traditional
device names.

What does 'ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/' print?
