This bug should stay as grave. I updated this morning and after a reboot I did not get a GUI at all. Sddm failed to start because it was missing this Qt plugin module. After about an hour I learned that libqt5xcbqpa5 had to be installed.
I also have recommended turned off because I usually don't want the extra packages. If kwin gets its dependencies changed, then consider doing the same for sddm, as without it, using the default config, it's pretty much useless.
