Are you trying to set keymaps for the console or for X. AFAIK, they're
handled seperately.
For console: loadkeys <mapfile> (usually run as root).
For X: xmodmap <mapfile>
To get the German keys you are looking for, you will want to try either:
loadkeys /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz/de.kmap.gz
xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.de
