It can. There is a "Debian Keyboard Configuration Project" under way
(http://fatman.mathematik.tu-muenchen.de/~schwarz/debian-kbd/) that will
make this easy. For now, look at its homepage for links to the relevant

For the console, control dot is the default compose key (look for "Compose"
in the dumpkeys output).

No. X has it's own mechanism. The keyboard configuration project aims to
make the keyboard behaviour consistent across console, X etc.
If you are interested in working on this, join the
