Yes, I ♥ the compose key (♥ = Compose + < + 3). But Alt (left or right)
is far too precious for me to use as Compose, thus I re-map the (for
me) pretty useless caps-lock. For that I have somewhere in
/etc/default/keyboard:

  XKBOPTIONS="compose:caps,altwin:alt_super_win,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"

(the compose:caps is the important tidbit here, the others are just
trying to make effective use of all those funky keys around the space
bar: for example, I have the "Windows" dedicated to the window manager
so it doesn't have to steal alt, and so on).

Bikesheds make happy :-)
