After reading docs and some trial and error, I found out if you do the changes below in /usr/share/X11/xkb/ and select enlish/GB keyboard the Think Outside Stowaway Sierra Full Size Bluetooth Keyboard will mostly work ok (with AltGr instead of the Fn key to get the "blue" symbols and compose for accents - I'm french :).
I did not succeed in getting the "EIGHT_LEVEL" or "level5" mode to work and define more key combos with "Fn"+key. If any xkb syntax expert is lurking arount, help welcomed.
