Having recently received the Skype email requiring reinstall with new version,
I'd like to learn more about available, working substitutes for Skype for
D7/wheezy, possibly current testing/jessie, and maybe even more robust bits of
sid. (For brevity, I'll refer to that collectively as "D7++".) Particularly I'm
interested in the following usecase: someone receives request from OP to do an
interview by Skype, the service with which the OP is most familiar. Are there,
e.g.,
1. Skype-compatible clients for D7++ which could be used to connect directly to
an OP running Skype?
2. Alternate services (e.g., Google Hangout) with ease-of-use sufficiently
approximate to Skype that the D7++ user could reasonably propose to an OP of
{usual, not very strong} IT-literacy?
3. Skype-compatible clients for D7++ which could be used to connect directly to
an OP running that alternate service?
I'm especially interested in evaluations of

I'm especially *not* here interested in discussion of the relative evilness of
