I'm using a 105 classical keyboard.
I looks like the backtick is now a backtick on french keyboard,
and isn't considered as a grave accent anymore => it isn't a dead key anymore.
What I notice, is that when I type the backtick character, even on a terminal,
it doesn't wait without displaying nothing (like previous versions of Debian
did) or doesn't wait showing the backtick underlined
like it does when I use the ^ dead key.
When I'm using the ^ key, I :
1. type ^ and see on screen: ^ underlined : this marks a dead key
2. the terminal or editor is now "waiting" for me to type another character.
3. I type any other character. ^z => ẑ, ^a => â...
When I'm using the ` dead key, I :
1. type ` and see on screen: ` immediately, and with no underline
2. the terminal or editor doesn't wait for me to type another character
especially.
3. I type any other character. `z, `a...
In fact, ` isn't considered as a dead char at all.
For À, I shall type: <right alt-7><shift>a to make it appear, in normal cases.
Here it responds `A
<right alt-9><shift>e gives ^E
<right alt-9>e gives ^e
interesting! while the ^ key right to the P on the french keyboard, provides a
^ that is a dead char and returns an ê
the ^ given by a <right alt-9>e isn't a dead char!
It's the top row of keys of a 102 or 105 keyboard that would not fire dead keys
anymore?

Were you perhaps using the "latin9" or "French (legacy, alt.)" keyboard
layout before? Unlike the default French keyboard layout, the latin9 layout
*does* map AltGr+[7] to "dead_grave", a dead key.
I don't know the name of that keyboard layout in French - it might be
"Français (obsolète, variante)". Perhaps a French-speaking developer
could help here?
What is the output of these commands?
cat /etc/default/keyboard
and
dconf dump /org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/
