Ok. Also, I recommend looking at the output of lintian. There are an 
impressive number of errors and warnings. Two types which probably should 
be fixed are empty-manual-page and python-script-but-no-python-dep. Also

W: meme: unusual-interpreter usr/bin/hypergeometric.py #!@WHICHPYTHON@

which is an obvious substitution error and executable-not-elf-or-script 
which I think is because the hash-bang is missing. Some of these might be 
upstreamable.

Has there ever been any Debian contact with MEME upstream?
