It's not in an uploadable state, I'm afraid.

I made an attempt both with xkeyboard-config and libx11 via this PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/togo-kblayout

The keyboard layout seems to work, but I couldn't enable the Togo
compose keys. Maybe I simply just don't know how...

@Rodrigo / @Mats:
It would be great if you could enable the PPA, and try it out. Possibly
there is more into it before it will work as desired.

In the PPA I just added a patch, but what you suggest is probably a
better long-term approach. ;)

Me neither (see above).

They will be available in Ubuntu 16.10, but already released versions
won't be automatically updated. There are procedures in place for
"stable release updates", but I'm not sure if this change qualifies.
