CLDR makes no difference for the weekday abbreviations in the
various German locales, they all share the same weekday
abbreviations.

http://www.unicode.org/repos/cldr/trunk/common/main/de.xml

has:

        <days>
                <dayContext type="format">

        </days>

I.e. the 2-letter abbreviations without dots are used for "stand-alone",
"abbreviated"
whereas the 2-letter abbreviations with dots are used for "stand-alone",
"short",
and for "format", "abbreviated" and for "format", "short".

And none of the de_*.xml files overrides this, so it is the same
for all German locales.

So it doesn’t look like there needs to be a difference between
Switzerland and Germany here according to CLDR.

If you really believe there should be a difference, can you please open
a bug with CLDR?
