That's got nothing to do with the keymap (which is fine.)
Two things are important:
1) in /etc/inputrc set 'convert-meta off' must be uncommented
(it maybe by default in 2.2r1, it wasn't in tc3. The metakey
still works fine, BTW)
2) The environment variable 'LANG' must be set to, i.e., 'de_DE',
which also lets
LC_CTYPE (the culprit)
LC_NUMERIC
LC_TIME
LC_COLLATE
LC_MONETARY
LC_MESSAGES
default to 'de_DE'. If you're like me you'll like to override
at least LC_MESSAGES back to 'en_US'.
