I just had an hour to spare, so I thought I'd quickly whip
up a crude walk-through for a "minimalist"[1] Devuan JWM/LXDM.
It may serve as a starting point for a more elaborate write
up for installing a "fancy" JWM desktop installation.

Here goes, use at will:

How To Install A Minimalist Devuan JWM+LXDM Desktop Environment
---------------------------------------------------------------

1. Install the Devuan base system. Follow the installer
defaults, but select the preferred locale settings and
enter the user account details. Do not select a desktop
environment!

2. After the reboot, login as root.

3. Add to /etc/apt/sources.list the following line:
deb http://auto.mirror.devuan.org/merged ascii main

4. Issue the following commands to install lxdm:
# apt-get update
# apt-get --no-install-recommends install lxdm

5. Remove from sources.list the line added in step 3.

6. Issue the following command to install JWM:
# apt-get --no-install-recommends install jwm xorg menu

7. Reboot the system:
# reboot

8. In the LXDM login screen select "Jwm" for the Desktop
(it will "stick") and login with your user account.

9. To shut down or reboot the system, terminate JWM via "Exit"
from the JWM menu, and then use the LXDM "Quit" menu.
