Hi Anton,

please have a look at
    http://www.xfree86.org/4.4.0/RELNOTES5.html#42
Sysadmins can override default settings by providing customized
compose files, say /etc/X11/Compose:
  include "%L"
  # My own compose sequences
  <Multi_key> <f> <o> <o> : bar
and tweak init scripts to set XCOMPOSEFILE=/etc/X11/Compose.

IMO this solution is much better than having lots of conffiles.
If this is a reasonable solution, maybe this bug can be closed?
