Thank you for this note as I would probably have missed this.
I will test this on a VM until it leaves "alpha" status.
One little note: I don't think it's supposed to be possible to install both at

I think it's because skype is not slotted and the dependency line in the
ebuild specifies slot "1" for skype.
