The traditional Debian way is to hand-edit /etc/network/interfaces. If an 
interface entry begins “interface «name» inet static”, then you can follow 
them with explicit settings, and NetworkManager should not touch them.

If you are using systemd-network (as Ubuntu does), then it is suffices to 
put config files named “«n»-«name».network»” in /etc/systemd/network, one 
for each interface, with manual settings in them. The format for these is 
documented in systemd.network(5).
