Hi Marcel, this is unfortunately side-effect of how the PPA is provided. The bind9 package needs debhelper 10 to build, but for Ubuntu Xenial, the debhelper >= 10 is provided only in xenial-backports.
Unfortunately, the PPA has only one „knob“ that either enables backports for all Ubuntu releases or none, which in turn leads to bionic-backports to be enabled which pulls newer build toolchain which in turn adds dependency on init-system-helpers >= 1.54. Let me try if I can tweak the dependencies, so I can build with a default set of dependencies. Meanwhile you can add bionic-backports to your apt sources.list to solve the missing dependency.
