I finally got it working!!! ;-) in console-common.preinst I commentet out the block calling getkmapchoice.pl around line 65 and rebuild the package. This package was installable and console--data, which was propably also not correct installed showed me its debconf menu. Then I reinstalled the original package and everything is fine now. Thanks for your help. mfg Fabian
