Yep, still in place. 
If prelink is used, bakcklitsing skype is the obnly way to run it, otherwise it cores.

veleno@alustriel:~$ skype
Fatal: QWidget: Must construct a QApplication before a QPaintDevice
Aborted (core dumped)

Without reinstalling skype but clacklisting in prelink:
veleno@alustriel:~$ skype
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

After reinstalling skype and rebuilding prelink.cache it works.

veleno@alustriel:~$ skype --version
Skype 4.1.0.20
Copyright (c) 2004-2012, Skype
veleno@alustriel:~$ sudo dpkg --list |grep skype
