For libraries this is OK and since you confirmed that it is basically a
library (despite the fact that there is a user application /usr/bin/mne
which was triggering my question) the name python-mne for the binary
package sounds right. I wonder whether we should call the source package
in the same way 'python-mne'. I fail to see a reason to switch the name
parts for the source package.

Yes. My question was basically triggered because I was not sure about
the role of /usr/bin/mne. I was wondering whether this might serve as a
user application which could be put into a separate binary package - but
this sounds like overkill for this few-line wrapper. In any case I
decided to create a real manpage - help2man does a too poor job here.
Finally I noticed that no docs are installed in the package. I added
the AUTHORS and README file but I would be happy if you could inject the
proper code to install the "real" documentation into the package (or
provide an extra *-doc package if this might be more apropriate).
If you want to add these docs you most probably want to add the following
to debian/rules:
override_dh_installdocs:
dh_installdocs
additional code to install the documentation
Just keep us informed in case this hint might not be sufficient.
Kind regards
Andreas.
