Thanks! This is important for the LibreOffice-PostgreSQL integration,
since LibreOffice uses the privilege information to determine whether
to let the user edit/insert data in the UI or not. It is thus
important for this information to be correct.

I currently work around that with a UNION, assuming that the default
acl is "owner has all rights".
