The guide instructs you to install graylog-enterprise package to run enterprise. That is not true, according to support.

Context

When upgrading from OSS to Enterprise license of Graylog, reading the documentation gives the impression that graylog-enterprise is the package to be using.

When doing an apt-get install graylog-enterprise, the apt-get tools wants to remove all previously installed Graylog packages, ie graylog-enterprise-integrations-plugins graylog-enterprise-plugins graylog-integrations-plugins graylog-server - but after contact with support, they clarified that graylog-enterprise is simply all of the above packages combined into one package.

This is not reflected in the documentation.

Expected Content

The documentation needs to explain the difference between "graylog-enterprise" package and the packages graylog-enterprise-integrations-plugins graylog-enterprise-plugins graylog-integrations-plugins graylog-server - and that there is no need to change the installed packages to graylog-enterprise if you don't want to. (unless there is a need, then it should clarify that as well)

I also would like to see information that installing graylog-enterprise does (or does not) save existing configuration so it would (or would not) be a safe upgrade to replace the existing packages (mentioned above) with the package graylog-enterprise.
