As long as libgalxx-dev exists, and 
libgtkhtml-dev has a Depends: on libgalxx-dev,
and libgalxx-dev Provides: Conflicts: libgal-dev,
it should be impossible to build an evolution
with libgalyy-dev.

Or, if you are prepared to do more typing, 
as Kitame mentioned, some versioned Build-Depends would
be a possible alternative.

Same to qt, and libpng.

That's my understanding, anyway.
