I think you dont need any extra package, just configure your X to use english keyboard with deadkeys or something. Sorry, but as i usually do it during install, I dont know how to change later. . . . . . One easy way of doing that is to select the "US English with dead keys" keyboard where ",',and ~ are "dead keys: they work only after you type another key. That arrangement has one disadvantage; if you want to type "" or ''you need to press those keys AND the space bar. That takes a little getting used to.
