OK!

my /etc/default/keyboard now contains this lines:

XKBMODEL="abnt2"
XKBLAYOUT="br"
XKBVARIANT="abnt2"
XKBOPTIONS="abnt2"

I've removed Option "AllowEmptyInput" "False" from the xorg.conf and
everything is working very well, thanks.

Still googling about my keyboard geometry since setxkeyboard -print
gives me a wrong one:
xkb_keymap {
	xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)"	};
	xkb_types     { include "complete"	};
	xkb_compat    { include "complete"	};
	xkb_symbols   { include "pc+br(abnt2)+inet(evdev)"	};
	xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc104)"	};
};

and dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration does
not offers me pc107 or abnt2.

My old hardware forces me to keep using xorg.conf and I missed the
hints. I feel like I should say I'm sorry about wasting your time.
