No, the Kernel supports loading of Keytables, Fonts and much more. This is
done on a debian System in /etc/rc.boot/console. The command loadkeys will
load a table of key assignments. You can store compose definition in such a
table like:
compose '"' 'O' to 'V'
See keytables(5) and loadkeys(1) for further informations. You can also get
the Kernels default compose-settings from
/usr/lib/kbd/keytables/defkeymap.map.
The default keytable used inside the kernel without loading is given in
/usr/src/linux/drivers/char/defkeymap.map. (Use this only for reference).
You can get a lot more informations from /usr/doc/HOWTO/Keystroke-HOWTO.gz
and /usr/lib/kbd/keytables/README.
