Skype is proprietary closed source software so Ubuntu developers can't
modify it and don't have access to its source code.
If you want something changed about Skype then you should ask the
vendor of the Skype application, not Ubuntu.

If Skype's vendor wants to have its packages in Ubuntu then it is
their responsibility to work on that, not Ubuntu's.
Blaming Ubuntu or Medibuntu about not including Skype is just plain wrong.
