I put together a Skype package for the am64 architecture in the sid
(unstable) distribution. It is available in the following apt-getable
repository:
http://people.debian.org/~rafael/skype-amd64/
It actually contains the binary executable distributed by skype.com in the
Debian etch i386 package but with the correct dependencies adjusted.
Please report back any problems.
Enjoy,
