The skype binaries are not freely redistributable.  This is a violation both
of the Skype copyright and the PPA terms of use.  Please remove these
packages.

The packages distributed in the Canonical partner archive are nearly
identical to the ones distributed upstream from skype.com.  Providing them
in the partner archive is largely for convenience, to let users find them
through the package manager without having to do any additional
configuration.  Thus, there's no need for providing packages in a ppa.
