The Compose file is part of X. We typically avoid local patches to X for minor things like this. The original source of the name isn't X either, it comes from Unicode. Here's what Unicode says about it in Technical Note #27, Known Anomalies in Unicode Character Names: "The use of the spelling lamda derives from ISO 10646. This does not mean that it is more correct than lambda, merely that the spelling without the 'b' is the one used in the formal character names."
