Don’t use dpkg --force-architecture, but rather enable multi-arch as
detailed in the various how tos online. To get Skype 4.1 working via
multi-arch, you will need some packages from unstable, install them.
If dpkg complains about a missing package foo (such as libqtwebkit4),
do

# apt-get install libqtwebkit4:i386

to install the i386 variant of said package (the amd64 variant won’t
work with Skype i386).

Best,

Claudius
