I finally got it working!!! ;-)
in console-common.preinst I commentet out the block calling getkmapchoice.pl
around line 65 and rebuild the package. This package was installable and
console--data, which was propably also not correct installed showed me its
debconf menu. Then I reinstalled the original package and everything is fine
now.
Thanks for your help.
