I found out, that if there is no rule for the adress tag  in polygon
stylefile the polygon wouldn't be evalueted for conversion to a single
point.
As the option --add-pois-to-areas implies the poiType should be set also
according to point-rules  even for polygons, because they might be
converted to points but will not be examined, since they dont have a
polygon rule.

That is why you will see a P rendered in a parking area only if you also
  have a rule that include parking areas in the polygons stylefile.

For housenumbers I'd like to have ONLY the collapsed points in the
garmnin map and not the house polygons themselfs.

Thanks
Christoph
