FWIW, rspamd 2.7 is the same version as in Debian oldstable (bullseye),
which I believe is still covered by security support from both Debian
and Ubuntu.  I have been using it for several years both on Debian
bullseye and on aramo on my now primary Trisquel-based mail server.
Upstream doesn't seem to care much about long-term support, and modern
versions seems to have anti-features so I am avoiding upstream packages:

Opendmarc is on Ubuntu 22.04 and Aramo:
https://packages.trisquel.org/aramo/opendmarc

I'm using spamassassin (as well as rspamd) and DKIM via Exim, what is it
that you want from opendmarc?  I thought it was mostly for reporting
features.  The anti-spam stuff via DMARC should be part of
rspamd/spamassassin already, I would hope.
