The current "de" module corresponds to a 10% completed porting effort of the 
us source code to the "de" situation. The idea was that people who would 
actually use this module should try this out and give some feedback. As this 
actually never happened, the 90% rest of the porting effort has never been 
done. In effect, anyone who works on the tax modules should rather throw out 
the de_DE stuff completely instead of spending any extra work to make a 
module of this (totally unusuable) code.

Or should I just go ahead and throw it out myself?
