I don't think DKIM will help much. But it would really, really help if
lists.debian.org could do ARC so that providers can a) do reputation or
b) just trust that domain to get it right.

Yes, there have been some changes to invalidate DKIM signatures less,
but you cannot control what the incoming DKIM signature encompassed. So
I found a mail recently where there were various headers included that
lists.debian.org modifies by design. ARC solves this problem by just
letting you sign the outgoing emails, regardless of prior DKIM status.

Kind regards
