I have done exactly that, without any difficulty at all: partitioned using 
Gparted then installed on those partitions.  I rather think that the problem 
is that you try to skip the partitioner. You can't do that.  You have to 
assign the partitions to where you want them via the partitioner, but you can 
tell the partitioner not to do anything or format anything, at least in 
Debian.  And I imagine that Ubuntu is the same, anyhow in the alternate 
installer.  But you have to tell the installer which partition to use for 
what, e.g. sda1 for /home and sda2 for / , and you do that with the 
partitioner.
