Just two small remarks:

* I think it would be relatively easy to add autopkgtest to the
  package, allowing automatic verification of the functionality.
  * Feel free to ping me for additinal pointers / examples.
* I know that there is a maintainers team for several icinga /
  monitoring related packages, but I don't know how they are organized.
  Please consider joining them; team maintainership is usually a very
  good idea for various reasons.
