Hi,

You can get Skype (and several other packages[1]) for Ubuntu from the
medibuntu repositories. Just remove the Debian package you already
installed and follow the instructions at the following URL.

http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repository.php

Then you'll be able to simply apt-get install skype.
