They are explained in the help screen of partman. :-)

 When the partition is already formatted you may choose to keep and
 use the existing data in the partition.  Partitions that will be used
 in this way are marked with "${KEEP}" in the main partitioning menu.
 NOTE: this installer doesn't allow you to install over an existing
 GNU/Linux system overwriting system files.

 In general you will want to format the partition with a newly created
 file system.  NOTE: all data in the partition will be irreversibly
 deleted.  If you decide to format a partition that is already
 formatted, it will be marked with "${DESTROY}" in the main
 partitioning menu.  Otherwise it will be marked with "${FORMAT}".

 In order to start your new Debian system, a so called boot loader is
 used.  It can be installed either in the master boot record of the
 first hard disk, or in a partition.  When the boot loader is installed
 in a partition, you must set the bootable flag for it. Such a
 partition will be marked with "${BOOTABLE}" in the main partitioning
 menu.

${BOOTABLE} = flash
${FORMAT} = :-)
