It's a realistic scenario. But is it your case or not - depends on details.

Seems good for me.

The built-in value could be changed with dkim_sign_headers, but
this patch gives much more reasonable default, IMHO.

However, a wish to keep original DKIM signature is almost pointless,
because there are too many places where it may be broken.
Forwarder (in general) should change contents of the "From:" header
if sender's domain has DMARC policy. Many mail lists do not perform
such manipulations, because DMARC is a relatively new technology.
