As the problem was already reported and given that graphics card
configuration under X are not in the scope of D-I, we will ignore this.

I guess you mean for X? Is the *console* keymap correct?
If this is for X, can you confirm the choices you made for language,
country and keymap during the install?
Was it German, then Germany, then German keyboard?
What is the default locale (should be de_DE)? You can look in
/etc/environment for that?
What are the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 settings for the keyboard? Please
paste the whole InputDevice section.

I guess that Konstantinos Margaritis, localization-config package
maintainer, will look at this.
