During installation? Later? Always? In general, the nodeadkeys variant is much preferred by the vast majority of users because under Linux you need pure accents a lot more often than accented characters: In the shell (just think about 'escaping' or `evaluating` or ^regexp) and also in GUIs for URLs (http://somewhere.org/~someuser). Using the deadkeys variant forces you to hit the accent first, then the space bar - more key presses, and key presses that are not intuitive at all because you don't see anything until you hit the space bar (or some other letter that does not get accented). If you are suggesting that we change the general default keymap for German to deadkeys, this is clearly INVALID. This would be a step backwards. We will not do that. OTOH if you explicitly selected the deadkey variant somewhere and this selection does not get honored, this is a valid bug.
