There are TWO issues with Skype debian package shipped at skype.com at the moment:
1. After the installation of Skype the button is showing "Install" like nothing happened, despite has been correctly installed, this bug was fixed in Ubuntu 13.04 and regressed again in Ubuntu 13.10. 2. To uninstall Skype these are the steps: a) open Ubuntu Software Center and search for "skype" b) click on the _very_ hidden "Show 18 technical items" (High Contrast screenshots show that link is not even accessible, color contrast is not ok) c) scroll circa to the middle of the page to finally see Skype d) click on it e) click "Remove" Result: Both install and uninstall of Skype package is very hard and not user friendly. We are open for suggestions on how to address this issue by Ubuntu 14.04 and make sure it is NOT going to regress one more time for Ubuntu 14.10.
