How do I report a bug directly to Skype?

Question

Skype supplies updated packages for Ubuntu via their website and via their partner repository in Ubuntu.

How do I report a bug directly to the Skype team? Is the Launchpad packaging team the same that supplies the packages for the Skype website?

Lets say I have installed the latest version of Skype from their website and I stop fishy behavior, were do I report it?

ie: this question is about the package downloaded directly from the Skype site, how do I report that as a bug?

Answer 1

Short answer: Bugs should be reported directly to Skype via their "public issue bug tracker" at https://jira.skype.com/
(requires a regular Skype login, obv)

If you haven't reported bugs before (even to Launchpad, etc), I would recommend reading their wiki page first, at:
