What desktop environment are you using? There may be DE specific configuration settings somewhere.

But since this is a new install, the simplest thing may be to log in to a console login (or ssh in from another computer) and remove/move the contents of regular user's home folder (including the dot files).

Actually, just the dot files should be good enough:

Code:
mkdir /home/floppy/OldDotFiles
mv -vi /home/floppy/.??* /home/floppy/OldDotFiles/
Do this while you are NOT logged into a graphical session.

After this, log in to a graphical session, and whatever DE you're using should hopefully create default settings that take into account the german setting you used for dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

Start the install process over and see if it selects or has the ability to select the correct keyboard??

What command?
Till now, I have to use "setxkbmap de" after each reboot.. and when I am not in the house, the family members has to folow the rule "z" is a "y". Not funny.
On a samsung nc10 with xfce,
dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration
udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=input --action=change
worked. But not on that bluetooth keyboard k400r connected to a HP 8200 with gnome (last Debian stable).

if that works, then it must be possible to make that a Xorg setting:
Code:
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/01-keyboard-layout.conf 
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "keyboard-layout"
        Driver "evdev"
        MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
        #Option "XkbLayout" "us, gb, ru, ca, fr"
        Option "XkbLayout" "fi"
EndSection
