The last time I did an install, using the custom install option would
have allowed that.  I haven't done a fresh install for a while, so it
might have changed.  I would ignore the /home and /data while
installing, making sure they aren't touched by the install process.
After install, add them as mounts in the /etc/fstab file.  The home
created under / during the install will be masked by the new /home from
fstab. 

I don't consider that a lot of work, but YMMV.
