You are right.
Another problem with ca and ca_enhanced layouts is that they can not
be combined with other layouts. This has been fixed upstream (both in
XFree86 and freedesktop.org trees), here is the relevant
/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/ca file. Can you please test it?
It seems that 'ca(fr)' replaces ca_enhanced, but only the first group
was implemented, no idea if the 2nd one should be added.
You have to edit /etc/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86 and remove 'ca' from the
$oldlayouts list before loading this file.
