Thanks Mathieu, that did the trick!

Now I stumbled on the next problem: when I add console=ttyS0,9600n8 to do the
install with serial console, d-i starts asking questions again:

   [!!] Choose language

   Please choose the language used for the installation process. This
   language will be the default language for the final system.

   Choose a language:
          C
          English

     <Go Back>

Please note that I am offered only "C" and "English" here, while without
the console=ttyS0,9600n8 setting, I can preseed german locale without any
problems, and I am not asked this question at all.

Any ideas on this?
