apt can only know about these dependencies when the package declares
them. Not sure if that is the case with the skype package. As a work
around, you can use 'apt-mark' to prevent those packages from being
autoremoved.

Does the problem still exist on Precise, I use skype there and at least
the packaging system is up to the task to install and remove it.

** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
