Sorry I misunderstood your question. The empty routing key has no
special significance in the context of alternative exchanges. Fanout
exchanges ignore the routing key so the it doesn't matter what value you
supply.

Messages that are sent to the "my-ae" exchange by whatever means
(directly from a publisher or in its capacity as alternative exchange of
"my-direct") will be routed to the "unrouted" queue, regardless of the
message routing keys.
