While you're installing kubuntu, choose to manually configure
partitions. Either do nothing with /dev/sda6 or choose to mount it as
/home.
I have one whole drive for my home directory. Everything else is
installed on another drive. Recently I tried several distros. With
each distro I chose the option to configure partitions myself instead of
letting it do the job. I would either choose during the install to
mount that drive as my home directory or do nothing with it during the
install and add it to fstab later.
