If Ubuntu doesn't default to using a separate partition for /home I'd
suggest that next time you upgrade it you do a custom install and
put /home in a separate partition. This means that for future upgrades
you format all partitions except the /home one so everything in your
user directories will survive the upgrade without any changes. 

I do one or two additional things that makes the upgrade faster and
easier: http://www.libelle-systems.com/free/linux/easier_upgrades.html
