Sounds like a bug#1 regression to me:(

As I already pointed out, the proper solution would be to point upstream
towards using /opt, as they should have done in the first place.  Instead
you brushed the problem under the carpet, and now nobody will have
maintained software.  Good going.

If you couldn't be bothered maintaining a package, you should have
thrown out a feeler for someone else to take up the mantle, instead of
dishing out an 'I don't like this, so tough luck' bug.

downloaded package on Medibuntu...
I'm sorry, let me clarify my statement.  The overwhelming majority of posts
on this bug is comments from people who want Skype back in Medibuntu.  Nor
is 'many people' exactly a definitive breakdown of Skype distribution.

Libdvdcss2 is probably the most...
I thought Medibuntu stood for "Multimedia, Entertainment & Distractions In
Ubuntu".  At what point did it become 'Multimedia  In Ubuntu'?  Besides,
there's already a script for installing libdvdcss in libdvdread, so if
Medibuntu only exists for libdvdcss (a ridiculously tiny binary), then it's
useless.  Again, 'probably the most installed' isn't a definitive figure of
anything.
