...and say welcome to something else? :-)

skos:subject doesn't exist anymore in the SKOS Vocabulary [1]. It has 
been removed since longtime (2005) [2].
They suggest to turn to other vocabularies, e.g., dct:subject [3, 4, 5].

Why don't we listen to this suggestion, and modify the extraction 
framework (it's just one line of code) so that the next DBpedia release 
will have the right subject relation to link a resource to a category?

If you think that we absolutely need the old property, we could provide 
triples both with skos:subject and with dct:subject. Existing 
applications would continue to work and new applications could use the 
new prop.
