Yeah, well, sometimes it's more obvious that one thinks.

- Enable the canonical Partner repo via the Settings tool
- "sudo apt-get install skype"

It installs a frighteningly large number of dependency packages (about a
hundred) with VERY unprepossessing names like libdrm2...

Seems to work though.

(Hangs head, shuffles off)
