Running the commands `nmcli con delete $(nmcli -g uuid con); systemctl restart NetworkManager.service` fixes the issue permanetly. (Meaning all 3 interfaces now are named `Wired Connection 1-3` and can be conttrolled independetly. Or the package behaves as it would if it was installed on a live system) (Alternatively the file can be removed while network-manager is off)

I assume this file is created by the debian installer, so you should
probably talk to them. See

https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?email=debian-boot%40lists.debian.org

I would guess that the netcfg part is the most likely package.
