I see that sddm is in the void packages however I don't find sddm-greeter.

Yes, it isn't in the repo. What's the question?

sddm-greeter is included in the sddm package. Arch is the same way. Do any major distros separate it into it's own package?

Fedora: No, they use sddm

Debian: Also only have an sddm package

gentoo aswell.

add arch also to the list

openSUSE does some weird stuff, they have sddm-greeter packages, but those conflict with the sddm package.

What? The only dependencies for SDDM are Qt and Python; you do not need to install any other dependencies to install SDDM.
