As somewone who has actually used JWM I can say that this is an
environment for people who are more or less experienced and know how to
fix the bugs in their own configurations.
Julien provided you with a hint what you should look at: the 'setxkbmap
us' command in your startup script is not correct because you want a
German layout.
I have been trying the 'setxkbmap us' , 'setxkbmap de' , and 'setxkbmap fr' and changed with those 2 keyboards. It did not work at all and altgr remains not working. I tried teh several reconfiguration of the X mapping. I would say that it is a bug, as simply as that. I use debinan since many many years. and in the stable edition, my keyboard was working fully. Never got any problems
I agree with him that for now the best course of action would be to
close this bug.
I do not understand why you would like to close the bug since the issue remains and stable debian distro has workign keyboard:

My advice for you is to either address some user
support forum/mailinglist and provide them with every detail of your
particular configuration, or to use some standard environment, such as
Gnome or KDE.
I have never meet the issue under Debian Stable, previously installed on the machine. I may suppose that it remains under X11 / JWM some further investigations.
If you choose the second option, then first make sure you
have removed all your system-wide customizations in /etc and second,
create a new user and experiment with it.
I have several users , and all users have same issue.
My concern is why you would like to close the bug since the issue remains and no solutions may be proposed or have working potential by dint of trying. I bought a new keyboard, and the issue remains.
