After reading Mihai and Criti's comments I understant this better and  I
also think that the preferences UI should only show the comma variants
instead of the cedilla ones.

So
 Romanian Standard (called academic in xkb)
 Romanian Programmers (called comma in xkb)
 Romanian Legacy(?) (Called winkeys in xkb)

current std and default from xkb, the ones with cedillas should not be
shown in the GUI IMHO.

I still think the default should be Programmers because even if it does
not provide the diacritics in the first level, it would cause less
confusion, most keyboards here having US layout.

This is best solved by upstream, it's not an Ubuntu issue, so xkeyboard-config 
should be told after there's some consensus what the best
way to change the layout file (if at all - it may need to include keys for the 
diacritics used by minority languages in Ro) and then to change
the gnome keyboard preferences applet as well.

I took the liberty of subscribing Misu Moldovan since he was  active in
the past in getting the romanian layouts in xkb and probably has some
insight as well.
