(Doesn't "dpkg-reconfigure cobbler" use '-plow' automatically? I've
never understood why you'd need to specify it here. But I'll leave
it.)

If you're going to say "with root privileges", you can take off the
prefixed "sudo", too. Or come to that, since we didn't mention root
for dpkg-reconfigure, why mention it here? So we could trim this down
to:
It can be reconfigured later using "dpkg-reconfigure -plow cobbler", and
users can be added to cobbler with

The expression "boot and PXE server" confuses me. There are non-boot
PXE servers?
It's particularly confusing when the description below goes on to ask
me for two server IP addresses rather than the singular address
referred to in the synopsis. Is it asking in bad English for a boot
server IP address and a PXE server IP address? (The general rule in
English is that "one each" goes with plural.)

Okay, apparently it does want addresses, plural (though they don't
need to both be IP addresses) and when it says "boot server" it means
"Kickstart server". So it should have been:
_Description: Kickstart and PXE server addresses:
And then:
For Kickstart and PXE features to work properly, it is important to
set the correct addresses in the fields "server" and "next_server" in
/etc/cobbler/settings.
.
The "server" field must be set to something other than localhost, or
Kickstart features will not work. This should be a resolvable hostname
or IP address for the boot server as reachable by all machines that
will use it.

I'm still not sure what this means by "the boot server". Is it now
referring to a different machine by that name? Apparently so, given
that it has a different address. So in effect it's saying "the PXE
server on the network that the PXE server is on"? Ah, as in, its
local IP address, not the one facing the Internet.
The "next_server" field must be set to something other than 127.0.0.1,
and should match the local IP address of the PXE server.

A run-on sentence, and an unnecessary "Note".
These values should be automatically detected, but they can be
manually edited in /etc/cobbler/settings.

I don't think we've been consistent about it, but in this case we were
getting a slight quote overdose.

(I think our logic is that "provides" lets you talk about the
functionality gained by installing this package and its dependencies,
while "contains" only works on the level of items in this .deb file.)
I don't much like the way it has so many short sentences that
awkwardly repeat the word "cobbler cobbler cobbler":

There's Python code all over these packages; what this one provides is
the Python _libraries_ for Cobbler.

The word "corresponding" is unnecessary here (just as "respective"
usually is) - they aren't just configuration files that correspond to
the web interface, they're its own files!

When you're expanding an acronym that's in the packagename, there's no
need to introduce the abbreviation as well.

More clunky short sentences, with various minor problems:
* s/code/libraries/ again;
* we've already had the K-O-A-N expansion;
* "helper tool" is vague - why not say "client"?
* "guests installs" should be "guest installs".
Make it two paragraphs, so the package "koan" only needs the first:
Koan, "Kickstart-Over-A-Network", is a Cobbler client that supports
virtualized guest installs and reinstalls of existing Linux machines.
.
This package provides the Python libraries for koan.
(This KOAN blurb is actually a bit repetitive if readers were paying
attention to the main Cobbler blurb, but never mind.)
ObWhyTheName: these days a "cobbler" is usually a kind of American
deep-dish fruit pie, but I think this is going for the older meaning
of "boot-bodger".
