Hi,
I found a partial answer.

Typo here, the package name is actually refstyle.

The commit 4bbc054 introduces a variable org-latex-prefer-user-labels.
which is reponsible for this behaviour. Setting this variable to t
doesn't entirely solve my problem though. Normal targets like
<<par:interesting>> are still altered.
I think the docstring hints at that already.
For headlines that do not define the CUSTOM_ID property or elements
without a NAME, Org will continue to use its default labeling scheme
to generate labels and resolve links into proper references.
I guess a bare target is an element without a NAME. I find this a bit
strange, since the user already adds the target manually. So I think it
is already the user's responsibility to ensure it is consistent.
Shouldn't then Org leave this unchanged?
Thanks,
