That is correct.  However when I first installed Skype on this machine
I was running precise (and quantal hadn't been released at the time).

Could you be more specific?

I just realized I've a precise laptop lying around at home, pretending
to be an HMPC/home server.

  ssh my-home
  gksudo software-properties-gtk   # yay X forwarding
    enable Partner and Extras repositories
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install skype
  ...

  Need to get 53,7 MB of archives.
  After this operation, 113 MB of additional disk space will be used.
  Do you want to continue [Y/n]? n

As you can see, I'm not getting any "unmet depencencies" errors.

Here's the /etc/apt/sources.list of that machine, sans comments and deb-src
lines:

    deb http://lt.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates main restricted
