With the upgrade to 15.10 the dead key of ~ (and thus the possibility of writing ñ) stopped to work for me.
Switching to german legacy as described here solved the issue for now. But for me it would be extremely annoying if this layout is removed without any sane solution. (editing keymaps is no sane solution)

IMHO ñ should work out of the box as it used to be, I guess there are
quite a lot of people who would like to write in spanish/portuguese
additionally to their own language.

Title:
  German keyboard layout loses tilde dead key

Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm used to the tilde (~) key being a dead key that can be used to
  type ñ or Ĩ. This changed with a recent update where it stopped
  connecting to the next typed character. After considerable effort I
  found "Deutsch (veraltet)" ie. "German (deprecated)".

  There used to be a way to tweak layout settings which also disappeared
  so there's no way for me to change this behavior.
