I had the wrong keyboard setting on my debian box, too (US of course).
That was after initially installing it. I used "kbdconfig" to change to
the keymap I needed to.

At first - before knowing about "kbdconfig" - I symlinked default.map.gz
to the swissgerman pendant. That did the trick, too, although it ain't
quite so elegant. :-)
