Package: dkim-filter
Version: 1.0.0.dfsg-1
Severity: normal

The default permissions of /var/run/dkim-filter/dkim-filter.sock only 
allow the dkim-filter user to write to it.  This precludes the MTA being 
able to use it as a milter, since that runs as its own user.

Also default permissions allow execute with is pointless (you can't of 
course execute a socket).  That's a minor issue though.

I suggest creating a dkim-milter group at install and giving 
that write access to the socket.
