Attached is a snapshot of what's displayed when I enter "Christian Périer" as user's full name in user-setup (I used full name rather than login name so that I can see what happens later when the user is created and whether the right encoding is used in what's passed ao useradd)).
Please note that "<E9>" is the code for "é" in ISO-8859-1. So it barely seems that the keyboard input is interpreted as encoded in ISO and not UTF-8.
As I develop a test robot and OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is ready, I attached screen shots in plain text.
They contain the keystrokes of the German keyboard in the order 1st row left to right <plain>, next combined with <SHIFT>, next combined with <ALT-R>, next row ...

GETTING HELP F9
If you can´t install Debian, don´t despair! The Debian team is ready to
help you! We are especially interested in hearing about installation
problems, because in general they don´t happen to only one person.
We´ve either already heard about your particular problem and can dispense a
quick fix, or we would like to hear about it and work through it with you,
and the next user who comes up with the same problem will profit from your
experience!
See the Installation Manual or the FAQ for more information; both
documents are available at the Debian web site, http://www.debian.org/
