Well, with plasma 5.5.1, I am able to launch the session. There are several 
small defects as expected, but I have a full working desktop now.

Now convincing sddm to show that entry in list of sessions is another matter. 
Despite of putting following in /usr/share/wayland-sessions, it does not show 
it. But it understands the entry for Weston somehow.
