I got some feedback on IRC. One thing pointed out was that the skype dependencies are not appropriate, since skype is not available in the ordinary archive. So I made a couple of adjustments:

* Translation files now installed in /usr/share/skype/lang/transifex
* skype dependencies dropped

It was also suggested that the whole symlink idea is hackish. Well, basically I agree. The reason why I still propose this solution is that we don't have access to debian/control in the Skype package which is made available on the Skype web site, so the better way - conflicts fields in debian/control - is closed.

We hope of course that more translations will be bundled with the Skype client in future versions. The purpose of this package is to make it easy for Ubuntu users to use existing non-official Skype translations in the meantime. Personally I believe that the current proposal serves that purpose in a reasonable way.
