Dockerfile build keeps a dev service whose image only a dropped service builds

The base image meet:backend-development could not be downloaded: its registry says it does not exist. That tag or repository was never published or has been removed, so the project has to name one that exists.

Why it happens

The repository's compose file is a development stack, so the engine builds the Dockerfile and keeps the other services. One of them (celery-dev) runs an image that only the dropped app-dev service builds, so nothing provides it and the deploy tries to download it.
