Because otherwise the whole display was very white-ish and (therefor?)
bright and not the normal background picture you'd see.

sddm was upgrade last night already so when I booted up this morning it
look quite 'spartan', but when I then did the 'big' upgrade,
sddm-theme-breeze and sddm-theme-debian-breeze were upgraded.
And it was after *that* upgrade that the login screen was white-ish as
described above.

I just opened System Settings -> Login Screen (SDDM) again to check and
the *Debian* Breeze theme does not have a preview and that's what I had
selected previous and "reset SDDM theme" entailed switching to the
'normal' Breeze theme.
