Marking this as confirmed, what has failed to have been noticed here is, well take a nice look at all of the screen shots people posted here, see if you notice a difference. The ones with the duplicate Skype also contain (skype:i386) in the name of them... which would imply that the packages are different no? This bug defiantly seems like it's on a person by person basis tho, and not a big usability problem either at the moment
