1. you should comment on the upstream bug:
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23544

This is not a Ubuntu specific bug and it just tracks the status of the
one upstream. Also fixing this in Ubuntu is not recommended as hardly
any other distro will get the fix from Ubuntu.

2. The upstream maintainer agreed that 4 layouts may be a bit too much
for a community of less than 25000 people making < 0.1 of the population
and I tried to find some Tatars to see if one of the layouts was good
enough or if they can be amended to contain the Tatar-specific letters
and the Romanian ones so that they'll be able to write correctly in both
languages without needing to switch between keyboard layouts.

Unfortunately I only found one Tatar ethnic and he wasn't writing
anything in Tatar on the computer and could not help me in this regard.
To be noted: he wasn't even aware of keyboard layouts for Romanian
either and was not using Romanian diacritics to write Romanian texts.

Sorin: you mention having some Tatar contacts. Could you please contact them and see whether we can define a single keyboard layout that would either:
a) be enough for both their Tatar and Romanian texts
b) be enough for their Tatar texts
