Usability issues should not be fixed by bypassing policy. We do not move
software to wrong repository "because this is easier".
If people want a 32 bits binary from non-free, they need to activate it,
especially for a dubious one such as skype, that is forbidden ( and by
forbidden, I mean that it would disciplinary sanction ) in my last 2
jobs.
And if that's too complex, people can also ask to the developers to push
a 64 bits build. ( of course, since that's Microsoft, they will likely
do nothing, but that's the price to pay for being dependent of a
proprietary software )
So the package should be fixed, because currently, the deps are broken
( ie, the self containement rule is broken ), and that's IMHO enough for
warranting a removal of the package if no one step to correct that.
