Hi Danishka and bitlord,
Thanks a lot for the fast responses.
It's exactly what bitlord has explained. It seems that it is just a matter of labelling/display in anaconda. So I think it is safe to proceed with mounting the ubuntu /home as the home for fedora.

I'm not sure if I understand everything, but I guess you see two
"/home" entries in anaconda (installer) partitioning. One for a new
system, and one "from old" (bottom of the list) (not sure how to
describe this, I saw it before). I sometimes re-use partitions when
"re-installing" systems, this is normal when you don't format them.
