--- Comment #13 from Faidon Liambotis <parav...@debian.org> ---
> It should. Still needs SDDM to change first.

https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/1561 and
https://github.com/sddm/sddm/pull/1739 seem to be relevant here.

>From there it's evident that perhaps we are in a bit of a chicken-and-egg
situation, as (I believe) one of the sddm maintainers mentions in that PR: "KDE
Plasma's sddm-kcm hardcodes /usr/share/sddm/themes, which is the issue here.". 

FHS violations are major/serious bugs across pretty much all distributions, and
are even more pronounced on immutable /usr ones. I appreciate that this sounds
a little sudden and the the urgency of this feels a little arbitrary, though!
It'd be awesome if sddm/sddm-kcm maintainers agreed on the path forward
regardless of the timeline and even if they don't make it into a stable release
immediately. I'm sure distros would appreciate it and perhaps could even
backport the fixes. Debian's freeze timeline is a good impetus of course :)

(I'm the original bug reporter on the Debian side but not involved with
maintaining sddm/KDE in Debian)
