They are quite different.  The Deimos packages are static bindings to the 
C
libraries--requiring you to statically link.  This, incidentally is why 
there
is no Deimos binding for OpenGL: it cannot be statically linked (unless 
you go
with a software implementation like MESA) because libGL is provided by the
end user's video hardware drivers.

If you're writing games or similar that you want to distribute, 
definitely go
with the dynamic bindings that Derelict provides.  It allows the end-user 
to use
whatever version they already have installed.
