Nope, empathy-skype depends on pidgin-common which contains the plugin. pidgin-skype and empathy-skype just contains protocol icons for pidgin and empathy (which you can't see till you upgrade t-haze to at least 0.7, saucy ships 0.8)).
So if you don't use pidgin, you can remove pidgin-skype you probably manually installed.
