pdns-recursor does a check with upstream to see if they think the version the user is running has a security issue. (This check is done using DNS and a log message is printed if there are known issues.) While this works fine with the current version, there's no way the powerdns.com servers can know if this is a Debian version or the vanilla thing. When a security upload happens it'd be useful for that to work, so a 3.6.2-2deb8u1 can be identified and be known as being a fixed version. (Right now, it asks for "3.6.2", not "3.6.2-1.Debian".)
