I'm not aware of any keyboard layout, German or otherwise, that contains U+017F. Would it be reasonable to suggest that it be added to the standard German layout? AltGr+s seems to be available.
It would certainly not hurt to have it there.
Fraktur, and Long-s, are not much used, these days. So, there will be not much demand for a long-s key -- though it would come handy for some kinds of usage, e. g. modern advertising, or reproducing texts from before ~1950 (cf. <http://www.gutenberg2000.de/>). Most German Fraktur fonts currently available seem to have particular, proprietary encodings. A standardized Long-s key would certainly help to promote Unicode amongst Fraktur font designers.
