It isn't enough because the KBD-TRANSLATE for the bengali-probhat input
method was set to nil so Quail does not care about
quail-keyboard-layout.
[ KBD-TRANSLATE=nil is good for bengali-itrans which is phonetic but not
so for bengali-probhat which is a keyboard layout akin to QWERTY. ]

There is no need for that. Quail takes care of it when we give it the
right argument when defining the input method.
TL;DR: We simply need to change two arguments to quail-define-package to
get the desired behaviour. There's nothing more to do (other than
perhaps having pixel perfect alignment of the keyboard layout in the
*Help* buffer).
