Hello Chris,
> Attached is the desired information.

thanks so far.

This is the command dbconfig-common uses to install the database schema
on my box:

su -s /bin/sh root -c 'env
HOME='\''/tmp/dbconfig-common.psql_home.vdCYbc'\''
PGPASSFILE='\''/tmp/dbconfig-common.psql_home.vdCYbc/.pgpass'\''
PGSSLMODE='\''prefer'\'' psql --set ON_ERROR_STOP=1 -q -h localhost -U
'\''icinga_web'\'' icinga_web'

The default setting for the application user is to use password and not
ident. Install the package with DEBIAN_PRIORITY=low and you will see the
option to use ident for the application user.

Also see: /etc/dbconfig-common/icinga-web.conf

Of course this won't work with my package on default because -web runs
under www-data.

You will have to skip dbconfig-common (this is currently bugged and will
be fixed in the next upload) and configure it manually.

And since you use a icinga_web user this is unsupported. Sorry.

Regards
Markus
