I would love to do that attempt; this would safe much headache with parsing configuration files, etc. However, you cannot do this with the postgresql-client command line tools, they do not have an option for 'do not ask for a password'. An alternative would be to add a dependency to libpg-perl or libdbd-pg-perl and connect directly through libpq instead of the command line tools. But apart from the pg binding itself this would pull in perl as a dependency, which I have tried to avoid so far (p-common just uses the essential perl-base). I'll give this some more thought, but I appreciate any good idea about this.
