If /home, /var and any special data directories are on separate
partitions, then I'd "just" back them up, along with /etc, and
start from scratch.
You can tell the Debian installer *not* to format certain partitions;
thus you can save /home, /var, etc. It worked fine for me when I
"upgraded" from Mandrake.
