Dear Carsten,
This sounds like a very good solution. I look forward to it being implemented.

No because it's about setting the columns format for the agenda view
alone, not the format for normal org buffers. My error was in using a
deprecated variable; the actual variable is
org-overriding-columns-format.
The OP's post was actually about the documentation (which I
misunderstood).
I have discussed this problem with Allen Li, who fixed a bug in the agenda column setting a while ago.
I think what is missing to make this more transparent is a variable `org-default-columns-format-for-agenda' which is a proper user option. This option can be set in your init.el or through customize, and it will provide a default format for the agenda. `org-overriding-columns-format should ONLY EVER be used in the local setting section of a custom agenda view.
This new variable is not available in master.
