sddm + wayland (weston) doesn't power off the screen

sddm 0.20.0-3 (from kde-unstable)
weston 13.0.0-1 (extra)

sddm is configured to use a wayland display server, by default it runs weston:

# /etc/sddm.conf.d/10-wayland.conf 
[General]
DisplayServer=wayland

Problem is, the screen doesn't go into power-saving mode, and is on all the time.
Do I need to somehow configure weston for it?

I don't have any weston specific confgiuration in either /etc or /var/lib/sddm/

$ sudo find /var/lib/sddm/
/var/lib/sddm/
/var/lib/sddm/state.conf
/var/lib/sddm/.config
/var/lib/sddm/.config/user-dirs.dirs
/var/lib/sddm/.config/user-dirs.locale
/var/lib/sddm/.config/qtvirtualkeyboard

enforcing idle-time on the weston command line, didn't change a thing

[Wayland]
CompositorCommand=/usr/bin/weston --shell=fullscreen-shell.so --idle-time=30

Known issue for awhile, sleep/suspend also does not work in SDDM when there is no user logged in:
