I checked the keyboard layouts' list and I neither found "Avestan" nor
"Iran-Avestan" nor "Persian-Iran-Avestan" nor the German equivalents
"Awestisch" nor Persisch-Awestisch"

And when I proceed as Simos Xenitelis suggested:

A. Open the Dash and type 'dconf'. The dconf-editor app should appear.
If not, then install from the Software Centre the 'dconf-editor' app.

B. In dconf-editor, navigate to

/org/gnome/libgnomekbd/keyboard/

C. Change the 'layouts' file to include Avestan.

for example

BEFORE: ['us', 'gr']
AFTER:  ['us', 'gr', 'ir\tave']

the new Avestan keyboard is functioning.

But it is not shown in the keaboards' list as
"Avestan" or (in German) as "Awestisch")
but as "Persian" (in German as "Persisch")

But it should have been shown as "Avestan" resp. "Persian-Avestan" or
"Iran-Avestan" 
(in German as "Awestisch" or "Persisch-Awestisch")
