More research:
I installed and compiled source package of libxklavier:
apt-src install libxklavier
apt-src build libxklavier

in the subfolder "libxklavier-3.7/tests" I now get test_config and test_monitor some tools to see a little whats going on.

If I run "test_config -g" the issue get's fixed, but I can see in the log there is a
3rd layout group (beside the desired 2 (German / Japanese).
I attached the output.

I run this again (now issue is fixed and log shows only 2 layout groups).

Additionaly I run this tool on "Failesafe" session (without gnome) and I get 3 (!!) layout groups.
This seems to indicate it's not gnome setup but something with the initial X-keyboad setup.
I don't know what's wrong configured here, but somehow this settings seem to overwrite.
My Xorg.conf currently doesn't contain keyboard config.
/etc/default/console-setup

XKBMODEL="pc105"
XKBLAYOUT="de,jp"
XKBVARIANT="nodeadkeys"

XKBOPTIONS="lv3:ralt_switch"

(setting this manual with setxkbmap seems to fix this as written above, so I guess it's fine).

This is a QWETY keyboard but with German layout I use as QWERTZ.
