Bug Description
Binary package hint: empathy
when skype is running, Empathy's Contact List does not show or manage my Skype contacts.
This is a regression, since Ubuntu's former default IM client "Pidgin" managed Skype contacts, too.

Pidgin did not manage Skype contacts by default, there was a plugin which could do that, but as far as I know, it needed a running skype instance to work. Now there is a new API available for development available for Skype partners called SkypeKit, which should be able to work without skype running. It would be nice indeed if ubuntu would ship with skype empathy integration.
