I manually copied /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsession file as /home/luser/.Xsession but that can't be a part of the normal installation procedure. Even stranger, wheezy was able to start KDE from kdm just fine without any .Xsession / .xsession file in my home dir.

While kdm still works in upstream stretch/testing, I've been told it is 
no longer being supported by systemd and has been replaced with sddm, 
but if you want to see your desktop currently you need to follow the 
instructions I gave you. For plasma 5 questions the best place to go is 
linux.debian.maint.kde, I'm trying to help the best I can.
