The word "applied" is not very clear here. You want to revoke all
existing privileges and then regrant whatever the default privileges
would have been given the new owner? That might be a reasonable thing
to have a command for, but doing it automatically on an owner change
does not sound like a good idea. That could be very surprising
behavior.
