You say your original partitioning was custom partitioning, then how do
you expect Anaconda will figure it out without help?  The way to do what
you want would be to enter custom partitioning, not delete any of the
existing partitions, specify the appropriate mount points (again only
you know this, no way Anaconda can figure this out), and then continue
with your upgrade as usual.
