please don't forget that there are quite a few languages around here in Europe, some of them use ć, and when we write to someone from an other country we often want to write their names correctly! :)
I am not so sure, but I assume that e.g. Polish or Serbian programmers also use the US keyboard.
to most of them, ç is probably of little use while ć is a very common symbol.

let me understand why you want to alter the US layout when you need Portuguese?
using the Portuguese layout, isn't it an option for you?

bug #919899 is about the <compose> key, you are talking about dead keys. Is it possible that some patches aiming at satisfying #518056 broke things for #919899?
