Recently (debian testing) some update changed the behaviour of the brightness in KDE.
Whenever I restart the brightness resets to 9% even though I have it set at 30%. This is with nightlight enabled (not sure if it makes a difference.) Furthermore randomly the brightness slider disappears. restarting powerdevil 

systemctl --user restart plasma-powerdevil.service

fixes it temporarily.
