Well, dbconfig-common is a *Debian* tool.

Access to the database via UNIX domain sockets is chosen.

Ident is the default auth mechanism for UNIX domain sockets
as far as PostgreSQL is concerned. It doesn't care what a
connection application (such as db-config-common) likes to
think.

So, unless you have *disabled* IDENT for unix sockets and
enabled something else such as md5 PG will expect you to use
IDENT or will not let you in.

I would re-check.
