I currently have Mint 14 set up on a 128GB SSD, with my /home directory on a 1TB Hard Disk. I am thinking about installing Ubuntu 14.04 when it comes out.

I understand that I can select a different home partition during installation and not format it.

Will the home directory just work, considering it is a change of distro or are there any Ubuntu specific contents in the /home directory that need to be created?

lsblk output:

NAME   MAJ:MIN RM   SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda      8:0    0 119.2G  0 disk 
├─sda1   8:1    0 103.3G  0 part /
├─sda2   8:2    0     1K  0 part 
└─sda5   8:5    0    16G  0 part [SWAP]
sdb      8:16   0 931.5G  0 disk 
└─sdb1   8:17   0 931.5G  0 part /home

There could be some problems with dotfiles (files that start with dots and are normally hidden), but no, there shouldn't be any new file that you need to create for Ubuntu to work normally.
