I don't think this is a good idea. I don't think we can clearly
anticipate all the possible problems with changing ownership of all the
files. It might be ok to just change the ones owned by the same uid/gid
as the top level directory, but even then I'm reluctant to change user
data.
The original problem can be fixed fairly easily by the user after
install.
