I'm not saying Debian shouldn't fix it.

I'm saying I lack the specific knowledge to fix it correctly.

I don't know that the suggested fix is correct.

I'm not going to apply it until I do know that.

Therefore I'm asking for German users, especially ones with a clue about
XKB, to help make this determination.
