A proper solution of bug#10254 (a bug in lisp/textmodes/bibtex.el)
requires that bibtex-mode uses not only buffer-local variables but
also buffer-local keymaps (for buffer-local menus). What is the best
way to implement this? Is it possible to define a default keymap for
the buffer-local keymaps similar to the default value of
buffer-local variables? Or is it necessary that every BibTeX buffer
uses a buffer-local keymap that is a child keymap of some default
keymap? (In this context, what is the equivalent of
kill-local-variable?) Or do I better use yet some other approach?
Thanks.

There are many different ways to answer this question I think.
If the differences are limited to menus, you can use a single keymap and
rely on things like :filter, :enable, ... to dynamically adapt the
menu's content to the buffer's state.
Otherwise, you can simply use-local-map with a different map in each
buffer (I'd expect those maps to share a common ancestor, of course).

Thanks!
Yes, menus are all I have in mind. So such adaption of a single
keymap might be a better solution ...

... than local keymaps. I'll look into this.
