To install Skype on an AMD64 system, you’ll need the 32-bit libraries (if you’re distro is 32-bit, skip this),

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

Then download the appropriate package from…

Firefox should download it to your desktop so…

cd Desktop
sudo dpkg --install --force-architecture --force-depends skype-debian_2.0.0.68-1_i386.deb

And you’re done, with the Webcam driver installed and enabled you should now be able to make video calls too.
