This is the "qmail" source package [0] that was shipped in prior Debian releases. In the current stable release and newer, the "qmail" binary package is provided by the "netqmail" source package [1].

This changelog entry for the old Debian "qmail" source package appears to be referring to only the latter patch, because the ANY-to-CNAME patch does not appear to be present [4]. The binary package you currently get from "apt-get install qmail" is built with a dns.c [5] that appears to have identical behavior to the original qmail 1.03, i.e., neither of the two patches are included.
