True.  We have talked about this in the past posts.  But actually skype can
also do a better job on this just like what Google did for the chrome
browser(not chromium)

I asked them to add a conflict with our skype-common package, to avoid
the common bug explained above. They never added it...

Anyone can recreate a skype package, file a bug report and propose it
for inclusion. But the usual behavior (even in Ubuntu) is rather: "a
person works for its inclusion and then vanishes". That's why I'm more
inclined to drop this kind of packages.

Since nobody proposed for four months (it was removed in december), I
think that everyone is happy with the package on the official website
(or whatever package one can find).

Well, actually, Medibuntu was "invented" first, and then we thought it
could be great if it were an acronym, and we tried to find a word
matching each letter (I'm not actually very proud of the result :p).

It downloads the package from our repository. If it fails, it downloads
the source code and builds the library.

You should ask Canonical to include Skype in the "partner" repository.
This is what happened for Adobe Reader, and we removed it from
Medibuntu, and everyone is happy now.
