There's a nice packages for Skype for i386 and AMD64 in Medibuntu:

The software version is the same in both repositories. So, for what reason we should use the Skype's own repository? The idea of some commercial company's repository is pretty unsafe for me.

I suggest to remove Skype's repo and use Medibuntu as a source for Skype.
