I am using skype static 2.1.0.81. The debian packages did not work on squeeze for me.
I remember that there was some solveable trouble with the 32 bit support libraries, but don't remember
where exactly, because I tinkered with all available versions before finding a solution. I think there was one additional
32 bit package which I did find after searching for the missing library name and skype, but I am not sure if it was for the
static version.

The dependencies now are like this:
