The Ubuntu package is based on an upstream version of xkeyboard-config.
Are you saying that it works differently on other Linux distros? If it
does, it's due to differences in versions and/or patches.

But if the behavior is a result of the upstream package, this is indeed
an upstream bug, and should be reported as such.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xkeyboard-config

Just patching in Ubuntu only, and with that change the behavior also for
those who prefer ć before ç, does not sound like a good idea.

In any case, to speed this up, I believe that the necessary research
should better be accomplished by those affected.

Title:
  cedilla appears as accented c (ć instead of ç) when typing 'c

Status in gtk+2.0 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in xkeyboard-config package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  
  When typing in a US-international keyboard with dead-keys (or 
UK-international), 
  typing 'c results in an accented c instead of a cedilla.

  There is a workaround, which is editing the

  /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodule-files.d/libgtk2.0-0.immodules

  file and changing the line

  "cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk20" "/usr/share/locale"
  "az:ca:co:fr:gv:oc:pt:sq:tr:wa"

  to

  "cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk20" "/usr/share/locale"
  "az:ca:co:fr:gv:oc:pt:sq:tr:wa:en"

  (add the 'en' at the end).

  However, every time some update on this file is applied, one looses the 
change,
  and we get back to the accented c. That means having to modify the file again,
  logout and login.

  For me this is no problem. But for my brother, mom, dad, etc, it is always 
something
  that at least makes me less proud of having convinced them to use Ubuntu, 
because
  they don't know what to do each time this happens.

  I think we really need a configurable keyboard layout, or at least (and that 
would
  be very easy), the inclusion of alternate layouts on install that for the 
dead-key
  options (as US-deadkey and UK-deakey), alternate layouts as 
US-deadkey-cedilla.

  This change is relevant for at least Portuguese and French.
