Yes

The be-latin1 variant just lacks some keys that are listed on the
keyboard. In fact, be2-latin1 is a very simple keymap. Without the
comments, this is be2-latin1:
include "be-latin1.kmap"
altgr keycode 7 = asciicircum
keycode 41 = twosuperior threesuperior
keycode 43 = mu sterling dead_grave
alt keycode 43 = Meta_grave
... and That's all, folks!

Yes. And the be2-latin1 keymap is the only correct keymap, as entering
the ` character, for example, is plainly /impossible/ with be-latin1.
