It plays badly with mailing lists that modify messages in ways that cause DKIM 
signatures to break (which is most, but not all of them).  It's my 
understanding that for lists.d.o based lists, the listmasters plan is to 
configure lists so that DKIM signatures should survive.

There's still a lot more Debian infrastructure that would have to be considered 
(Alioth based lists, BTS mails, etc.) before we might consider Debian to be 
DMARC ready.  I don't know if it's worth the effort, but I don't think there 
are any insurmountable technical barriers to get past if the project decided to 
take this on.
