A normal user is not supposed to install the non-default f6 (unfortunately skype requires it, so in case you come this way, complain to the maintainer of skype to not provide enough instructions for you). If someone installs f6, he is supposed to know enough about the topic that he doesn't stumbles over this problem. If someone stumbles over it, he doesn't know enough about it yet. f6 support is experimental stuff, so expect problems.
