That was my proposal, IIRC. Might have been related to the fact that the
X11 stuff was overridden by ibus (default IM framework in Ubuntu) at the
time. That was changed in 16.04, and restoring the compose key section
may be motivated.

However, it doesn't seem to be all that easy. I recently added some dead
keys (admittedly not Multi_key items) for Togo users, and it proved that
you need to enable XIM to make them work.

config/+bug/1584314/comments/6

So I think some testing is motivated before adding the section back.
Possibly there is a need to say that it may be necessary to switch to
XIM for it to work.

  I think it's very useful information and should be restored.
