Thank you for the feedback that everyone gave before.

Here there is the workaround that worked for us in Debian Buster / Debian 10:

echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster-backports main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/buster-backports.list
apt update
apt install -t buster-backports prosody

After installing the right prosody version then either apt dist-upgrade or apt full-upgrade will no longer try to uninstall the jitsi-meet package.

apt install -t backports prosody should do too, I think.
