The fork was created so as to add many common patches to djbdns.[1] Most notably, this now includes IPv6 support.
Previously, it was necessary to get a special 'djbdns-installer' package that downloaded the djbdns source from the author's site and apply a patch, but the free software status means this is no longer necessary, and Debian can directly carry the source and patches, producing a redistributable binary deb package.
This package had filtered through into Ubuntu.
Dbndns is no longer maintained as part of the Debian distribution.[2]
