Public bug reported:

Not sure of the package

My computer is configured in English:
$ locale
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

But my keyboard is Belgian. Relevant section of xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver          "kbd"
        Option          "XkbRules"      "xorg"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc105"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "be"
EndSection

Special characters are defined in this file:
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/be

However the "œ" and "Œ" (o and e attached) are missing in this file.
Normally, they should be accessed via ALT-Gr+o and ALT-Gr+O

This is fixed by adding this line in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/be :
key <AD09>  { [         o,          O,           oe,           OE ] }; // o O œ 
Œ

I don't know about the variants but it should be at least in the "basic"
section. My corrected file is attached.

Once this file has been modified, restart X or type
$ setxkbmap -layout be
