xkb-data is architecture independent, so i386, amd64, etc. doesn't
matter. As regards different Ubuntu versions, I have successfully
installed and run the xkb-data package in my PPA on trusty, utopic, and
vivid installs. So even if it was built in utopic, you can install and
test it in trusty if you like.

If there proves to be a consensus on this approach to deal with the
issue - possibly after some modifications - we should better leave the
PPAs and propose that it's included in the archives, both in Ubuntu and
upstream.

In other words, I hope that a few users install xdb-data from my PPA,
test, and give feedback here.

Of course it's ok - this is free software. ;) But, as I just said, it's
not necessary for testing on trusty.

Title:
  cedilla appears as accented c (ć instead of ç) when typing 'c

Status in central project for keyboard configuration:

Bug description:
  
  When typing in a US-international keyboard with dead-keys (or UK-international), 
  typing 'c results in an accented c instead of a cedilla.

  There is a workaround, which is editing the

  /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodule-files.d/libgtk2.0-0.immodules

  file and changing the line

  "cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk20" "/usr/share/locale"
  "az:ca:co:fr:gv:oc:pt:sq:tr:wa"

  to

  "cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk20" "/usr/share/locale"
  "az:ca:co:fr:gv:oc:pt:sq:tr:wa:en"

  (add the 'en' at the end).

  However, every time some update on this file is applied, one looses the change,
  and we get back to the accented c. That means having to modify the file again,
  logout and login.

  For me this is no problem. But for my brother, mom, dad, etc, it is always something
  that at least makes me less proud of having convinced them to use Ubuntu, because
  they don't know what to do each time this happens.

  I think we really need a configurable keyboard layout, or at least (and that would
  be very easy), the inclusion of alternate layouts on install that for the dead-key
  options (as US-deadkey and UK-deakey), alternate layouts as US-deadkey-cedilla.

  This change is relevant for at least Portuguese and French.
