I understand jcfp point. And it's good. US-intl should be as
international as possible.

But lets get to the facts. Brazil has two types of main keyboards. ABNT2
that has the c-cedil key, and US-intl that just maps the '+c to c-cedil.
This sure represents circa 95% of brazilian keyboards.

If you go to layout and choose Brazil, you get 7 variants, the default
is ABNT2 wich represent circa 50%. But there's no variant that sets us-
intl.

When you install ubuntu it lets you choose between abnt2 or intl for
brazil, and intl just doesn't work as supposed. Besides of getting ć
instead of c-cedil I also get many other combination that simply doesn't
exist in portuguese (ŕ, ý, ś, ń, ...).

I really think that an Brazil - US - international should be created. This 
should sit in the keyboard preferences layout under: 
Layout: Brazil
Variant: US-intl

I never liked the idea that to configure my keyboard to portuguese I
should go to US and choose International, maybe it's correct but it just
doesn't feel right.

I'm not expert in this area. But wouldn't it be better that under your
country layout the variants were the ones that are used FOR that
country?
