I believe this bug has been inherited from Debian, where it was fixed on Sep. 24th 2017 [1]. I don't know how the process of getting updated packages from Debian into Ubuntu, but to me it seems like an easy task for someone with the proper knowledge and permissions.

In opendkim-2.11, the systemd.service script has been updated and not only it completely ignore the /etc/default/opendkim, but it also hardcode the socket path without providing any way to change it, which is a requirement to use opendkim with postfix, as the later is chrooted.
