Who do I call in case of schedule changes or other issues? Given DL phone problems, that might be an advantage of booking through AF if the marketing carrier is the contact. OTOH, a DL voucher would be much better for me than an AF voucher, pushing me towards DL, if those that becomes applicable..
The general rule is that it is the ticketing carrier you call. This is not always the same as the marketing carrier.

With the DL/AF partnership, I think, but do not know, that the marketing carrier of the Atlantic leg will always be the ticketing carrier. So it would be the marketing carrier in your case. Until day of departure of course.

BTW, does anybody know what "day of departure" actually means?
