Yes, of course, I should know! I read this some years ago but didn't
realize then what effect it will have for me one day: All rows in my
current example except the last one are just considered as the table
header and everything becomes clear. How could I not conclude myself.
Thank you for helping out.

With this in mind it should be

| item  | absolute | percent |
|-------+----------+---------|
| a     |       17 |      34 |
| b     |       21 |      42 |
| c     |       12 |      24 |
|-------+----------+---------|
| total |       50 |     100 |
#+TBLFM: @>$2=vsum(@<<$2..@>>$2)::$3=100 * $2 / @>$2

or

|-------+----------+---------|
| item  | absolute | percent |
|-------+----------+---------|
| a     |       17 |      34 |
| b     |       21 |      42 |
| c     |       12 |      24 |
|-------+----------+---------|
| total |       50 |     100 |
|-------+----------+---------|
#+TBLFM: @>$2=vsum(@<<$2..@>>$2)::$3=100 * $2 / @>$2

and it is not possible to take the shortcut of

| a     | 17 |     |
| b     | 21 |     |
| c     | 12 |     |
|-------+----+-----|
| total | 50 | 100 |
#+TBLFM: @>$2=vsum(@<$2..@>>$2)::$3=100 * $2 / @>$2

or

|-------+----+-----|
| a     | 17 |     |
| b     | 21 |     |
| c     | 12 |     |
|-------+----+-----|
| total | 50 | 100 |
|-------+----+-----|
#+TBLFM: @>$2=vsum(@<$2..@>>$2)::$3=100 * $2 / @>$2

to group rows with hline
