Hi Brice,

I wanted to ship an /etc/X11/Compose file containing these 3 lines:
   include "%L"
   #  Add your own compose sequences below, they will be preserved
   #  on upgrades
Some changes are needed to have this file taken into account, e.g.
by setting XCOMPOSEFILE=/etc/X11/Compose before X is launched, and
I did not find time to get any further.  If you want to fix this
bug, you need to
  1. decide which package owns /etc/X11/Compose
  2. add a script file (under /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ ?) to set XCOMPOSEFILE
