I have issues too with sddm-theme-debian-breeze 5.27.8-1, but the symptom is different.
I get a correct screen, but the password field has a very small font size and each character is 1 pixel.

Using diffoscope, it appears sddm-theme-debian-breeze 5.27.8-1 doesn't have the theme.conf file.
Adding back theme.conf from version 5.27.7-2 with 5.27.8-1 installed fix the issue for me.

Note: metadata.desktop was also removed in 5.27.8-1, maybe it shouldn't too.


@Miguel, can you try to do the same to check if theme.conf is also the cause of your issues ?

That is, adding `/usr/share/sddm/themes/debian-breeze/theme.conf` with this content:

```
[General]
showlogo=hidden
logo=/usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/default-logo.svg
type=image
color=#1d99f3
fontSize=10
background=/usr/share/desktop-base/active-theme/login/background.svg
needsFullUserModel=false
```
