Or just propose a patch that adds one line to the basic layout 
in .../symbols/de and .../symbols/pc/de:

  key <AC02> { [ s, S, ssharp, 0x100017F ] };

The only reason they might reject this is that the Romanian variant 
then loses the long s.  But hey, one can't have everything.

I've put the long s last, because it can occur at the beginning of a 
word, so it somewhat has the character of an upper case letter, the 
sharp s not.  Also, its position corresponds with the Irish layout.
