Hey,

sddm ships a logfile named /var/log/sddm.log, if you look at it it is empty.

So far we know with systemd it is not used for quite a while and not 
referenced at all. That's why we want to cleanup the package, and not drop 
that file.

But maybe other init systems are using this log file, does anyone have a 
system, where this file is not empty? A hint would be welcome.
Also a note, that your init system does not use /var/log/sddm.log is helpful, 
as we than are more safe to delete that file.

Regards,

hefee
