While the "nodeadkeys" variant is often preferred by programmers, I think the default de-"basic" layout should conform to the German DIN 2137 standard for keyboards. This states that only french accent keys (circumflex ^, acute ยด, grave `) are dead keys, but not the tilde ~ key. This is also the correct behavior in Windows with the "German (Germany) - German" setting. It is currently not possible to select such a variant in Linux as the "basic" variant has "dead_tilde" enabled and "deadgraveacute" is missing a "dead_circumflex".
