Dear Maintainer,

Setup is an Apple M1, running standard Debian Testing, except for a locally 
compiled kernel and bootloader. debian-bananas repos are not used.

This is a regression. Last known working setup was around 2026-03-26. On March 
20th, I did my first package updates, including (from apt history.log)
  sddm:arm64 (0.21.0+git20250502.4fe234b-2+b1, 0.21.0+git20251101.dfa5315-1)
  systemd:arm64 (259.1-1, 260-1)

Since that update, the computer fails to reach the sddm login screen. Opening a 
VT, systemctl status sddm reports:
Mar 25 17:21:18 JMAir sddm[906]: Running: /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp -dpi 144 
-background none -seat seat0 vt2 -auth /run/sddm/xauth_lPJQJB -noreset 
-displayfd 16
Mar 25 17:21:18 JMAir sddm[906]: Failed to read display number from pipe
Mar 25 17:21:18 JMAir sddm[906]: Display server stopping...
Mar 25 17:21:18 JMAir sddm[906]: Attempt 1 starting the Display server on vt 2 
failed

Running systemctl restart sddm temporarily fixes the issue. So far, this seems 
100% reproducible.

I didn't try to revert any package.

Please let me know if there's any other info I can provide.
