From what I see, -l is in the default options on Linux for at least
logwatch 7.3.2. It's mentioned both in the
default.conf/conf/services/zz-disk_space.conf and the zz-disk_space
script itself.

You can easily add your favorite $df_options to a zz-disk_space.conf in
dist.conf as well if the defaults don't suit you.

I personally also like the -P option, which avoids the ugly wrap,
especially with device names like /dev/mapper/volumegroup0-logicalvolume0.
That's why I put it in /etc/logwatch/conf/services/zz-disk_space.conf

$disk_cmd = "df -hP -x tmpfs -l | sed -e 's/ on$/_on/' | column -t"
