Thanks for the feedback. This issue has been kind of solved by Gunnar for ubuntu, for given selections of locales (comment #115).
The issue is that now I installed Mint, and realized that the fixes are not spread to other ubuntu based distributions.
I still do not understand how can we have hundreds of different keyboard layouts to choose from, at the same time being impossible to create a new one with this choice.
The specific issue of the 'c=ç is probably less popular now because most computers sold in Brazil have now the brazilian keyboard layout, and that is fine. As a programmer, I suffer with the fact that "/" and "?" are Alt-Gr dead keys in this layout, and I keep using the US one, but for most people the fact that these keys are in such inconvenient positions probably doesn't matter.
