Weird. I run Debian testing on several boxes, including the laptop I'm
using right now:

mike at ung:~$ dpkg -l|grep -iP 'skype|libasound'
ii  libasound2:amd64                             1.0.27.2-3                         amd64        shared library for ALSA applications
ii  libasound2:i386                              1.0.27.2-3                         i386         shared library for ALSA applications
ii  libasound2-data                              1.0.27.2-3                         all          Configuration files and profiles for ALSA drivers
ii  libasound2-plugin-equal:amd64                0.6-6                              amd64        equalizer plugin for ALSA
ii  libasound2-plugins:amd64                     1.0.27-2+b1                        amd64        ALSA library additional plugins
ii  skype                                        4.1.0.20-1                         i386         Wherever you are, wherever they are
mike at ung:~$

It has probably been over a year since I installed Skype originally
though so I'm not sure if I had to resolve any weird dependencies.
Also, this box was upgraded from Wheezy.
