Yes I know about fedora. And I am not terribly happy with that. What I can propose (for linuxes only - dirty hack!) is
1. Optional. Adding abnt2 section to keycodes/evdev - with missing keycodes. I am not sure what is the status of the keycode KPPT in evdev.
2. patching rules/base in order to use evdev keycodes wherever possible. The section would look like:
! model = keycodes
  amiga = amiga(de)
  ataritt = ataritt(de)
  sun4 = sun(type4_euro)
  sun5 = sun(type5_euro)
  sun6 = sun(type6_usb)
  pc98 = xfree98(pc98)
  abnt2 = evdev(abnt2)
(previous line is optional, if no abnt2 section is needed)
  jp106 = xfree86(jp106)
  evdev = evdev
  olpc = evdev
  macintosh_hhk = macintosh(hhk)
  macintosh_old = macintosh(old)
 $macbooks = macintosh+macintosh(goodmap)
 $macs = macintosh
  thinkpadz60 = xfree86(thinkpadz60)
  * = evdev

In that case, the patch in ubuntu/fedora should be reverted. And people should choose abnt2, not evdev.

To make a proper fix, I have to think about that problem some more time...
