In fact there's a much easier solution: add "force" to the global
options that you give to the documentclass (near the "11pt").  In this
case, each package will pick it if and only if it understands it; so the
textcomp problem is solved.  None of the packages loaded by
Debiandoc-sgml-Dokuments understand the option "force".  I didn't check
for any packages loaded indirectly from within the explicitly loaded
packages; but I don't think it's probably that any other package uses
"force". 

You can always change to \currency in addition to that if you like the
wasy character better.
