    I've found many other input methods (e.g. danish-postfix vs
    danish-alt-postfix) are the same.

    They have been there since latin-atl.el was committed by
    Richard about 10 years ago.  I have no idea why the same
    maps were introduced in that file.

TAKAHASHI Naoto <ntakahas@etl.go.jp> is the author of the file.
I don't know anything about it, but I suppose you know something.
