sorrily I get lots of error messages when I feed a german keymap
to grub-mklayout, see below for the errs produced by:

   grub-mklayout -i de.keymaps -o de.grub 2> errs

The used de.keymaps is included as attachment.

Ignoring these messages and feeding that keymap into grub with
keymap de.grub on grubs command line results in an unusable 
keyboard (almost no known key left), which in turn forces me
to reboot ...

thanks again.
