The "import QtGraphicalEffects 1.0" in sddm-theme/Background.qml can be removed. By doing this the whole theme does not require the module to be installed. Reproducible: Always
Doesn't the user delegate require it anyway? So even when removing it there (which should be done) I would still require said module and so do other parts of Plasma.

It doesn't import QtGraphicalEffects, but it uses "ShaderEffect", which is to my surprise in QtQuick itself
OK, cool, thanks for the investigation, I'll have a look.
