It seems I've stumbled across a better workaround: this did work for a
Ubuntu 14.04 Gnome and 14.04 Unity (which had Gnome Shell installed in
parallel and was started into Gnome Shell).

I've selected German Neo 2 as first keyboard layout and plain German as
second. After selecting Neo and rebooting, in the login-screen there are
still only German and English available as layouts (didn't find a way to
change that) - but after logging in, Neo is automatically selected, and
all keys seem to work. Note that I've stayed away from switching to
another layout since then as I guess that would make keys infunctional
again.

Title:
  German neo2 keyboard layout: no ALT and SUPER keys

Status in xkeyboard-config package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Affected version: Ubuntu 14.04.

  When switching to the Neo 2 keyboard layout, I cannot use the ALT or
  SUPER keys at all. To reproduce this bug, do the following:

  - In the keyboard system tray menu, select "Text Entry"
  - Click "+"
  - Select: "Germany (Neo 2)"
  - Close the "Text Entry" configuration
  - In the keyboard system tray menu, (temporarily) select "Germany (Neo 2)" as active layout.

  Now, shortcuts like <ALT>+<TAB>, <ALT>+<F2>, ... are no longer
  working. The same goes for the shortcuts I tried with <SUPER>.

  Switching to Neo2 by "setxkbmap de neo" has the same result.

  For sake of completeness: There are other bug reports regarding Neo2,
  reporting that Layer4 (Mod4) is not working. In my case, Mod4 seems to
  be working fine.
