Thanks for your comments re pt_PT, Leandro.

As long as we consider setting LC_CTYPE, in any of the ways mentioned in
comment #96, a fix, it should be noted that '+c results in ç
irrespective of which keyboard layout you use. In other words, the
changed behavior is not conditioned by the use of an English US
international keyboard layout, as Raphael suggested in comment #98. I
assume that this was considered a reasonable behavior for Brazilian
users, considering which physical keyboards are typically used in
Brazil.

We could propose a change to the libx11 package which adds a
/usr/share/X11/locale/pt_PT.UTF-8/Compose file. But before proposing
such a change I would like to ask if it would make as much sense for
users living in Portugal as the corresponding Brazilian file makes for
users living in Brazil.

* Do users who live in Portugal use an English US international
  keyboard layout as often as Brazilian users do, or do they typically
  use some Portuguese keyboard layout?

* Since the behavior may make typing certain other European languages
  more difficult, is that drawback possibly of greater importance for
  users living in Portugal (Europe)?

The only Portuguese locales which are supported in Ubuntu are pt_PT and
pt_BR.
