Why? It makes sense for the user-de package to do the 8-bit
customization, but the redefinitions of home/end are not appropriate
in general; they change the way emacs responds to those keys in
incompatible ways.  (The backspace/delete change is outright *wrong*;
under X it does the right thing already, and I believe the right way
to handle it on a tty involves having emacs actually read the stty
settings and *obey* them.  Feel free to check the outstanding
bugreports on this; debian-i18n doesn't seem like a particularly
useful place to discuss it...)
