Bug Description

During the review of cobbler-enlist, it was noted that cobbler-enlist doesn't use SSL. This should be documented as such:
- adjusting the already existing debconf questions/notes to include language that the information is currently submitted in unencrypted form (and a way to abort)
- add language to the --help text that the information is currently submitted in unencrypted form
- add a manpage which among other things includes language that the information is currently submitted in unencrypted form
- add text to README.Debian explaining the lack of SSL, language that the information is currently submitted in unencrypted form and a reference to bug #833994
