This was fixed in debian by introducing a g-s-d-common package. That's
synced to disco, so disco is good too.

Bug description:
[ Description ]
Currently gnome-settings-daemon can't be built in cosmic-proposed for
arm64 and armhf:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
sbuild-build-depends-gnome-settings-daemon-dummy : Depends: mutter (>=
3.27.90) but it is not going to be installed
analysing the situation with chdist shows:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
mutter : Depends: gnome-settings-daemon but it is not going to be installed
and then diving further:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
gnome-settings-daemon : Depends: gnome-settings-daemon-schemas (=
3.30.1.2-1ubuntu2) but 3.30.1.2-1ubuntu3 is to be installed
What has happened is that gnome-settings-daemon indirectly ends up
Build-Depending on gnome-settings-daemon again:
src:g-s-d - (BD) -> mutter - (D) -> g-s-d
gnome-settings-daemon has "Depends: gnome-settings-daemon-schemas (=
${source:Version})". This in itself is correct, but when the arch:all
gnome-settings-daemon-schemas is published before an arch-only build
is picked up, we have skew that results in this failure. g-s-d-schemas
3.30.1.2-1ubuntu3 is available, but g-s-d 3.30.1.2-1ubuntu2, the
strict dependency means it is uninstallable.
Presumably we'd gotten lucky up until now and never had a newer
g-s-d-schemas published before all other arches at least started
building.
[ Fix ]
Cut the arch:any part of the circular dependency. We make mutter
Depend on gnome-settings-daemon-schemas instead, since it only needs
the schemas and not running daemons. We still have a circular BD/D
chain from g-s-d to itself, but now it looks like:
src:g-s-d - (BD) -> mutter - (D) -> g-s-d-schemas
...importantly there are no strict version requirements any more, so
this kind of skew isn't a problem. If mutter ever changes to have
"Depends: gnome-settings-daemon-schemas (>= some-version)", this
should also work - since the arch:all gnome-settings-daemon-schemas
will be installable everywhere.
