In addition to what others have said, which answers your question,
I'd ask what you really want to do.
In particular, are you trying to do something different for a given
class (subset, kind) of Dired buffers, or just arbitrary different
Dired buffers. If the former, then consider defining a submode,
i.e., a mode that inherits from Dired mode but has its own keymap
and possibly does things a bit differently. You can do this with
a major mode or a minor mode.
But if there is no way to recognize a Dired buffer that you might
want to have different key bindings for, then this approach would
not apply. In that case, the Dired buffers you want to do this
in/for are, in effect, arbitrary.
