On the arch wiki is a very good explanation for installing skype, but I have a question regarding this.
I can see on the official skype download page that there is a 64bit build for Ubuntu in .deb format. Can that .deb be uncompressed and compressed into a pacman installable file? I dont get why ubuntu has 64bit version and every other distro doesnt, looks weird to me.
If there is a way to do this, I would like to be part of the solution and mantain the package or at least help in maintaining

If I remember correctly, the 64-bit version of skype is actually 32-bit with multilib dependencies At least for linux.

So, it is a 32-bit build with all dependencies already on the package? name seems a little misleading (LIE). Would it benefit the community to have this ported to the AUR, provided that there is already a bin32-skype package properly mantained?

So it is !!
its just all 32 bit binaries packaged together. You can get the same thing by installing bin32-skype from AUR. I have done the same thing.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

And no, it doesn't have all possible dependencies.
