You can leave the existing /home partition untouched, but the default
Debian install kernel knoweth not reiserfs, so you won't be able to mount
/home. You can get a reiserfs-enabled install set at
http://www.psouth.net/~jjk/projects/reiser-debian/
note that the instructions include some funky steps :-)
