"Skype cannot be packaged into Debian. It's proprietary software, released as binary only, and therefore not suitable for inclusion, even in the non-free section."

Debian Policy says:
"[...] for example, if the source is unavailable. These situations will need to be handled on a case-by-case basis."
I suggest to leave this 'case-by-case'-decision up to the ftp-masters. I will take care about the upload of a conforming package. Until my sponsor did an upload, interim versions are available from http://archive.daniel-baumann.ch/.
Regards, Daniel
