Bug#298763: ITP skype -- Internet telephony that just works

[Daniel Baumann <daniel.baumann@panthera-systems.net>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name : skype
  Version      : 1.0.0.7-1
* URL          : http://www.skype.com/
* License      : Skype End User License Agreement (non-free)
  Description  : Internet telephony that just works

[cite from #255546]

"Skype cannot be packaged into Debian. It's proprietary software,
released as binary only, and therefore not suitable for inclusion, even
in the non-free section."

[/cite]

Debian Policy says:
"[...] for example, if the source is unavailable. These situations will 
need to be handled on a case-by-case basis."

I suggest to leave this 'case-by-case'-decision up to the ftp-masters. I 
will take care about the upload of a conforming package. Until my 
sponsor did an upload, interim versions are available from 
http://archive.daniel-baumann.ch/.

Regards,
Daniel
