No, it cannot go into Debian, and if its a binary I wouldn't even want
it in non-free (because we cannot give any security support). What you
could do would be to create a package that downloads the skype binary
and creates a deb from it, to allow the user to install it.
If you look for "fahclient" in the archives of this list, you will find
something; or have a look at flashplugin-nonfree.
