Hmm, I do not see Plasma/wayland as an option in SDDM login-manager.
So, I cannot report.

Thanks for the helpful informations and friendly warnings.
The upgrade worked here on Debian/testing.
Not as described in my 2nd email, it needed some APT-shell-kungfu.

When I played with KDE/GNOME & Wayland I knew how to check the desktop

In KInfoCenter I see the upgraded versions of KDE/Plasma to v5.20.4
and KDE/Framework to v5.77.0.
dpkg lists no more old versions of KDE/Plasma & KDE/Framework.
