Ok, I spent quite long to figure out why cedilla was the new acute.

Since my keyboard already has a Ç key (which I use very rarely) I'm
quite annoyed with the decision of making dead_acute + c become a c with
cedilla instead of a c with acute (which doesn't have any other input
method that doesn't involve writing Unicode codes).  Wouldn't it be
possible to use a different combination for ç, such as dead_grave + c
(or the already existing AltGr-,)?  Or use ~/.XCompose or instead of
overriding it with a custom configuration.  If none of those seem
feasible, maybe giving cacute a different combination, such as
dead_grave + c, could do  (although in my opinion it makes far more
sense that the dead ACUTE key, followed by the C key, prints a C with
ACUTE rather than a C with CEDILLA).

Among all possible solutions, I think that the best one would be to just
make the default input method use X11's Compose, which already solved
this problem in a localized way by having a special key composition file
for pt_BR locale which maps <dead_acute> <c> to ccedilla while keeping
other locales with the default cacute setting, in addition to allowing
the user to have a custom ~/.XCompose file.
