How? What I'm trying to do is avoid overriding a minibuffer key binding
established by another package, which I don't control.

No, generally the desired behavior for these use cases is that the
keybinding will by default be active in the minibuffer, unless
minibuffer-local-map happens to override that key, in which case
minibuffer-local-map should be preferred.

> is it only about key bindings

That's the problem I face, yes. Per my above comment, just conditionally
disabling the minor mode doesn't actually solve the problem. Unless you
were to conditionally disable it by scanning minibuffer-local-map for a
specific set of keybindings, which feels somewhat horrifying.

More generally though, it would be really nice if there were a way to
specify the numeric priority of a keybinding. Currently, minor modes are
unconditionally preferred over major modes and minibuffer bindings, which
are unconditionally preferred over global bindings. Usually this is what
you want, but when it isn't, the workarounds feel pretty hacky.
