Have a look at the /boot/isolinux/isolinux.cfg file. Remove or comment the line "KBDMAP german.kbd" and the default us keyboard layout will be used at startup. You'll likely also want to substitute all occurences of "lang=de" with "lang=us". BTW, kriko, you could stick the appropriate keyboard=xyz and xkeyboard=abc in that file as well, so you'll always default to the keyboard layout of your choice.
