You can just tell the Debian installer to make filesystems on your old
partitions and that'll be that.
If you have /home as a separate partition, you could just tell the
installer to mount it without making a filesystem on it first. Might be
a good idea to put a copy of /etc in your home directory, too.
But no, you don't have to do anything special. You'll just have a step
or two fewer to do.
