If you're going to be doing a complete reinstall then I don't see why keep the Ubuntu partitioning. Unless you like the way it's partitioned (in terms of swap, if it uses a /home partition, etc.) just do a reinstall with a Debian disc. It shouldn't be that difficult a process. In my case, considering how messy that file partitioning looks, I would do a complete reinstall with Debian, keep a swap partition, and that's about it (maybe a home partition).
