The version is definitively newer (last entry in Changes from
2006-01-25). Unfortunately the public interfaces has changed
completely. Changes says:

1.63  Wed Jan 25 12:00:00 2006
        - Dropped OO code ( There are previous versions of module if anyone need s it ) 

Therefore IMO this is a bug in libemail-valid-perl which uses the old
interface (without a versioned depends).

My proposal:
* Reassign bug to libemail-valid-perl.
* Patch libemail-valid-perl and notify upstream (looks quite simple
  because only the test for existence is used).
* Add a versioned dependency to libemail-valid-perl.

Other opinions?
