I don't know - but I'll ask Steve who packaged the partner version if he knows. Ultimately, I think you'd need two packages - one skype package that is arch-independent so that you always end up with a 'skype' package installed, and a skype-bin which installs the i386 binaries, and I think you can only hide the two packages from the user by either using a repository (where one pkg depends on the other), or doing something ugly like the first package downloading and installing the second.
