"xkb-data is architecture independent,..."
Great! This makes things easier for everybody.
I'll try again late, after work, and share here. (I've tried with apt-get and, of course, it didn't found the repo. )

"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 my very humble opinion, this seems to be the most KISS solution for the issue.

"In other words, I hope that a few users install xdb-data from my PPA, test, and give feedback here."
I'll help spreading the word and asking some fellows if they are using US intl dead keys keyboards.

Hi, Leandro? What you think about this? Can you help with some testers?
Please, share your toughts, friend :)

Thank you, Gunnar.

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.
