Building the debian packaging of libgala0 and gala with debuild -us -uc command, install the generated .deb files, and then running sudo apt update and sudo apt dist-upgrade will no longer offers removal of these necessary packages

Closing as fixed in https://code.launchpad.net/~elementary-os/+archive/ubuntu/daily/+build/28891410

Looks like the package version format defined in the recipe was causing this issue.

Before: {debupstream}~r{revno}+pkg{revno:packaging}~daily After: {debupstream}+r{revno}+pkg{revno:packaging}~daily
