Remember that get-skype is just a downloading script.

If it works the same way as get-skype, then it the package itself does
not *contain* any binaries, but simply downloads them at install time.

I'd say this is fair enough. But if it does contain binaries, then it is
not noarch. I think this is a clear cut definition.

The correct fix for this fullrecall package is simply to fix it to build
under 64 bit.
