Deque's methods and the methods inherited from Queue

As stated in the Deque's javadoc, the Last-methods (addLast, removeLast, etc...) are totally equivalent to the Queue methods. So it's not clear to me why they declared the Last-methods in the Deque interface. Why wouldn't just use the Queue's methods in the Deque interface and declare the only First-methods?

Calling addLast makes your intent clearer than add. Code that contains calls to addFirst and addLast is easier to understand than code that contains calls to addFirst add add.
