Hi David, save yourself future headaches and only use the tomcat7 user to own everything dspace-related on your machine - the dspace installation directory. For consistency, you can also create the database in Postgres as the tomcat7 user (i.e. db.username in DSpace would also be tomcat7).
This applies to both Debian and Ubuntu if you're using the tomcat7 (or any other tomcat version) distribution package. If you notice the generic advice in the DSpace installation docs to run everything as the "dspace" user, my advice is just an application of the principle to Debian, where the tomcat package determines the user name (tomcat7). You shouldn't change the ownership of tomcat's files because they belong to the package and the package will reinstall them under the tomcat7 name upon the nearest package upgrade.
