FWIW, the docs for REASSIGN OWNED have a note at the bottom:
 "The REASSIGN OWNED command does not affect the ownership of any
 databases owned by the role."

This was added because Josh Berkus commanded us to:
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/4be2367c.30...@agliodbs.com

As far as I'm concerned, that note should be removed.  Also, there's
this bit:

        "Because REASSIGN OWNED only affects the objects in the current
        database, it is usually necessary to execute this command in each
        database that contains objects owned by a role that is to be removed."

This would be reworded thusly:

        "Because REASSIGN OWNED does not affect objects in other
        databases, it is usually necessary to execute this command in each
        database that contains objects owned by a role that is to be removed."
