Its webiste shows 32-Bit / 64-Bit Multiarch! If you install multiarch, 
the dpkg shows you :

$ dpkg -l | grep teamviewer
ii  teamviewer 10.0.41499                                          amd64 
TeamViewer (Remote Control Application)

And skype :

$ dpkg -l | grep skype
ii  skype 4.3.0.37-0ubuntu0.12.04.1            amd64        client for 
Skype VOIP and instant messaging service
ii  skype-bin 4.3.0.37-0ubuntu0.12.04.1            i386         client 
for Skype VOIP and instant messaging service - binary files
