released skype for linux 2.1, I followed link and downloaded 64 bit version for ubuntu .. but look at package control:
Package: skype
Status: install ok installed
Priority: extra
Section: non-free/net
Installed-Size: 25096
Maintainer: Skype Technologies
Architecture: amd64
Version: 2.1.0.47-1
Depends: lib32stdc++6 (>= 4.1.1-21), lib32asound2 (>> 1.0.14), ia32-libs (>= 1.6), libc6-i386 (>= 2.7-1), lib32gcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1-21+ia32.libs.1.19)
Umh, a tricky way to make amd64 package …
