Dear Gunnar,

Thank you very much, this is a great progress on this issue.

The brazilian community is very active for Ubuntu and other linux distros, and flavours and forums
exist. I will do my best to "pass the message", such that this solution becomes heard over the many
other workarounds.

By the way, I will take the liberty to reproduce here the solution you
posted on askubuntu:

                                                         SOLUÇÃO    /   SOLUTION

==========================================================================


Não importa que idioma você tenha instalado no seu sistema, quando estiver usando
o teclado US-Internacional (with dead keys), a cedilha será digitada pela combinação '+c
seguindo estes passos:

1. Gere o "local" pt_BR.UTF-8:

sudo locale-gen pt_BR.UTF-8

2. Adicione isto ao seu ~/.profile :

export LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.UTF-8

(saia e entre da sua seção)

Caso o suporte para língua portuguesa estiver instalado, estes dois passos não são necessários.
Basta você escolher "Português Brasileiro" como idioma de interface. Na versão do Ubuntu 15.04
ou superior bastará escolher o idioma de interface OU as configurações regionais como 
"Português Brasileiro".

=============================================================================

In English, as originally posted by Gunnar at
http://askubuntu.com/questions/363115/how-to-type-latin-small-letter-c
-with-cedilla

"Whichever language you are using, all you need to do, to make '+c
result in ç, is:

    Generate the pt_BR.UTF-8 locale, if it's not already available:

    sudo locale-gen pt_BR.UTF-8

    Add this line to your ~/.profile file:

    export LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.UTF-8

If you are a Brazilian user, and install the Portuguese language -
either when installing or later from Language Support - you can skip the
just mentioned steps. Instead you can just open Language Support and
select Brazilian Portuguese as the display language. As from Ubuntu
15.04 it's sufficient to select Brazilian Portuguese as the Regional
Formats setting."

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.
