I've tried linphone once or twice. The basic issue with SIP phones is that it's not really possible to jump networks. It's kind of like a cellphone network where you can only dial other subscribers of the same network.
http://en.flossmanuals.net/linphone/ So, for many users a Skype client is necessary... unless Microsoft decided to work on making Skype fully interoperable with other SIP servers. Although, I somehow doubt this would ever happen. But... To the OP... Debian 6 is no longer a supported version. Updating shouldn't be too hard as long as the machine is your own. And I seriously doubt anyone can truly expect a new version of a freely offered [not free] software package to be built for a now unsupported OS.
