How to handle key binding conflicts between product dependencies? [message #1759096]

In the Eclipse RCP product I'm working on, I have two external dependencies which contribute with the same key binding extension (ALT+CTRL+Y) and empty contextIds.
I know if I had to define those key bindings myself, I could have used different contexts to avoid the conflict.
But here, those are dependencies that are already packaged, I can't seemingly change the source code.
Do you have any clue on how to handle this?

Thanks.

It's buried in the documentation of the org.eclipse.ui.bindings extension point:

Quote:

If a binding does not define a command identifier, then it is a deletion marker. This means that if all the conditions are met, it will cancel any bindings with the same trigger in the same context. This mechanism can be used, for example, to change a binding on a particular platform.
