Yes, that is the one. i tried to change it as you told me. However, then even
the workaround with the windows logo key did not work any more :( The
intended ALT+Ctrl+F2 did not work either...
Maybe someone could have a look at my boottime.kmap.gz and send my a patch. It
is here: http://informatik.hu-berlin.de/~nachtiga/boottime.kmap.gz
Here is what I did:
diff /etc/console/boottime.kmap.orig /etc/console/boottime.kmap.my_personal
135c135
< keycode 56 = AltGr
- ---

dpkg -S and packages.debian.org did not tell any package. I would like to
report this to BTS, so if you have a clue which package it is let me know
