1. you should comment on the upstream bug: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23544

This is not a Ubuntu specific bug and it just tracks the status of the one upstream. Also fixing this in Ubuntu is not recommended as hardly any other distro will get the fix from Ubuntu.

2. The upstream maintainer agreed that 4 layouts may be a bit too much for a community of less than 25000 people making < 0.1 of the population and I tried to find some Tatars to see if one of the layouts was good enough or if they can be amended to contain the Tatar-specific letters and the Romanian ones so that they'll be able to write correctly in both languages without needing to switch between keyboard layouts.

Unfortunately I only found one Tatar ethnic and he wasn't writing anything in Tatar on the computer and could not help me in this regard. To be noted: he wasn't even aware of keyboard layouts for Romanian either and was not using Romanian diacritics to write Romanian texts.

Sorin: you mention having some Tatar contacts. Could you please contact them and see whether we can define a single keyboard layout that would either:
a) be enough for both their Tatar and Romanian texts
b) be enough for their Tatar texts
