I tried manual network configuration and debian renamed wlan0 to

This is (somewhat ironically) called a "predictable interface name".
I don't know whether you can opt out of it under systemd: I'll leave
that for the experts (under sysvinit I still have the good old [1]
wlan0 etc. -- which I much prefer *in my context*)
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/
lists three options:
1) Disable the renaming of interfaces by:
# ln -s /dev/null /etc/systemd/networks/99-default.link
2) Give the interfaces your own names (such as 'internet0','dmz' etc) by
creating a .link file in /etc/systemd/network/
3) Pass "net.ifnames=0" on the kernel command line.
[1] Yes, I know the technical advantages and the whys of those
predictable interface names. No, in my case the engineering
tradeoff still skews *heavily* towards "traditional" names.
And yes, I prefer to make this choice myself.
