python3-memcache has a reverse-dependency in stable, which would need to
be fixed first:

Will remove the following packages from stable:

python3-memcache | 1.53+2014.06.08.git.918e88c496-1 | all

Maintainer: Debian Python Modules Team
<python-modules-team@lists.alioth.debian.org>

------------------- Reason -------------------

----------------------------------------------

Checking reverse dependencies...
# Broken Depends:
celery: python3-celery

# Broken Build-Depends:
celery: python3-memcache

Dependency problem found.

(and python3-celery also has an r-dep, python3-django-celery, which
would again need fixing)

Adam
