After comparison of the different configurations of a machine that
works and the problematic machine I found out the following:

~> cat /etc/environment
### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION FOR localeconf
# Do not edit within this region if you want your changes to be preserved
# by debconf.  Instead, make changes before the "### BEGIN DEBCONF SECTION
# FOR localeconf" line, and/or after the "### END DEBCONF SECTION FOR
# localeconf" line.
LANG=de_DE@euro
### END DEBCONF SECTION FOR localeconf

is fine.  But if

   LANG=de_DE.UTF-8@euro

is set I run into exactly the trouble I observed.  I have to admit that
I lost my nerve to test UTF-8 issues more deeply and switched back to
the working settings.  But I'm willing to do anything for debugging
if you ask me so.

Kind regards

          Andreas.
