Some partitioning tools (probably SuSE in your case) create broken
partition tables.  Notice that the primary partition hda4 is inside the
extended partition hda2.  Thats why the Debian installer does not
recognise the partition table. 

It is a good idea however to show the user an informational message
about the reasons why the partition table was not recognised.
