The proposed changes in the PPA have been uploaded to yakkety (Ubuntu 16.10). Thanks Daniel!

There is a problem, though: The new Togo compose keys don't work by default, and the cause seems to be some kind of conflict with IBus. (IBus is available by default in Ubuntu.)

Changing the GTK_IM_MODULE environment variable to 'xim' fixes the problem. The easiest way to do that is to open System Settings -> Language Support, select 'none' as the "keyboard input method system", and relogin.

Even if there is an easy workaround, I can't help thinking that there shouldn't be such a conflict. If I understand it correctly, IBus has been changed to no longer interfere with X11 compose, and still it does. :(

Added an IBus task to this bug report, and changed the title again.
