I don't know exactly the function of APP_CHARSET_MAP in

APP_CHARSET_MAP_vc8=iso05
APP_CHARSET_MAP_vc9=iso05
This *does* has an effect: if I press german umlauts then different garbage
is displayed than without ;-)
Iso05 may be wrong for your system. Use what you think is most appropriate.
Where can I find out what other possibilities I have, and what they mean?
dpkg -L console-tools | grep man
That should show some candidate manual pages. I haven't found the iso05
part, and I don't think it's documented.
What could be appropriate on ordinary PC hardware for english and german?
How could I find out what consoles 1-6 use (which seems right)?
Try iso01 through iso06.
BTW: I have no idea which program uses /etc/console-tools/config and where
it is called in the boot process and under which name.
Thanks for insights,

It looks like it's /etc/rcS.d/S48console-screen.sh.
It might also be a good idea to do "dpkg-reconfigure locales"; that
might set up your consoles for your default locale.
How do you attempt to enter German umlauts? How would you enter "รถ" at
the console?
