Don't know whether this is the right way to go, but it works: Copy one
of the German keymaps from /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwertz (I use
de-latin1.kmap.gz) to /etc/kbd, rename it to default.kmap.gz, reboot
(if you like it the Microsoft way) or better run
"/etc/init.d/keyboard.sh start" and that's it.
