I was pretty happy with Skype being in Medibuntu as well. But I am oblivious to the technical issues at hand and won't complain.
If anybody still wants to install Skype using a package manager (apt et al) while it resides in -staging (not for long), here are some directions you can execute in a terminal to get it done: Prerequisite: Add the Mediubuntu repo (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu) <code> sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu-staging.list; sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu-staging.list; # replace all instances of "karmic" with "karmic-staging" sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install skype; </code> These directions should work for any recent Ubuntu release (intrepid, jaunty, karmic, lucid). Just substitute "jaunty" (or whatever) for "karmic" as necessary.
