I'd better put the record straight, since Postfix 2.5 is now de facto
standard stable, I have to adopt it whether I like or not and people on
the dkim-milter list may get the wrong idea.

I've never written that PF "2.5 is broken", I have written that it "gave
horrible and unacceptable side effects". This is because PF 2.5 has many
optional parameters that were not available with 2.4. The one in
particular that made it unacceptable is how prepend_delivered_header is
implemented. The new options resulted in all messages with Delivered-To
headers being bounced, whereas that did not necessarily happen with 2.4.
I had 2 scenarios where this occurred, one retraining dspam and one with
a maildrop vacation routine. Ok, so I am reading the necessary docs and
am trying things out one at a time. I shall, as I mostly do, sort out
things for myself without asking help from *any* mailing list, anywhere.
That latter does happen now and again, but it's very rare.

Hereby. I'm cross posting to the Postfix ML to avoid confusion for
posterity.
