That smells like a test for truth instead of defined() bug.  The bug
appears to be in Email::Valid, which Lintian uses:

windlord:~> perl -MEmail::Valid -e 'print Email::Valid->address("1\@stanford.edu") ? "yes\n" : "no\n"'
yes
windlord:~> perl -MEmail::Valid -e 'print Email::Valid->address("0\@stanford.edu") ? "yes\n" : "no\n"'
no
