The issue is correctness and consistency.
PC keyboards with a German layout have "," (comma) above "Entf".
Those with US-layout have "." (dot) above "Del".

Before the change, this key produced a dot, independant of keymap us or
de. I thought pressing the key should show on the screen what is printed
on the key cap. Furthermore, with X you already get the expected
behaviour, xev shows "keysym KP_Separator", the associated string is
a comma.

I do not quite understand your sentence about the decimal separator
above. Do you want to say your PC keyboard has a German layout with a
dot on that key? That's certainly a bit unusual.
