I’ve checked the code, and unfortunately I’m unable see how the comments
could possibly have any bearing on the behaviour. In any case I am
unable to reproduce this with opendkim version 2.11.0~alpha-11 (Ubuntu
18.04).

** Changed in: opendkim (Ubuntu)

Title:
  OpenDKIM fails to load when comments are present

Status in opendkim package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Affects: OpenDKIM version 2.10.3

  If a comment is present after the `SOCKET=` line in
  `/etc/default/opendkim` like below, OpenDKIM will fail to launch,
  citing invalid usage.

      # Command-line options specified here will override the contents of
      # /etc/opendkim.conf. See opendkim(8) for a complete list of options.
      #DAEMON_OPTS=""
      #
      # Uncomment to specify an alternate socket
      # Note that setting this will override any Socket value in opendkim.conf
      #SOCKET="local:/var/run/opendkim/opendkim.sock" # default
      #SOCKET="inet:54321" # listen on all interfaces on port 54321
      #SOCKET="inet:12345@localhost" # listen on loopback on port 12345
      #SOCKET="inet:12345@192.0.2.1" # listen on 192.0.2.1 on port 12345
      SOCKET="inet:12301@localhost" # just a "harmless" little comment
