How is this possible, or did some other package force its removal?Removal occurred because of otherwise unresolvable conflicts. In this case, with Wayland. OP apparently didn't notice Synaptic was to be removed, and proceeded with the upgrade.
Apt-auto-remove could remove it, me, while upgrading would use synaptic to mark synaptic as not being auto-installed then it would become a local installed package and would not be removed. there's another package in buster repos called "upgrade-system" that needs to be fixed or removed, I use it because it runs deborphan after doing a full/dist-upgrade, I think it may now be dead, also deborphan and gtkorphan cause it uses gksu, I don't think users are allowed that kind of power any longer. I ran one package and it said I needed to be Wheel, so I installed kuser to add me as wheel, while trying to use kuser I got command not found.
