[ale] Skype Linux client updated (finally!)

[Don Kramer]

still to have to capability to Skype natively in Linux when the other party
wants to, I like having that option.  I did install it on my primary laptop
running Debian Squeeze 6.0.5,  brief tryout it's certainly  stable in my
brief experience with it that the previous Linux version that wasn't for
me.
