Oops, sorry, there is no syntax ALTER SEQUENCE ... OWNER TO ...;

But since release 8.2, GRANT ON SEQUENCE is available. As written in the 
release notes, "GRANT ON TABLE for sequences is still supported for backward 
compatibility".

It's quite easy to explain the reason to make such a modification. As also 
written in the release notes mentioned above, "this <GRANT ON SEQUENCE> was 
added for setting sequence-specific permissions". It might be strange for 
someone to operate a command like "GRANT USAGE ON TABLE ..." generated for a 
sequence, since there is no meaningful USAGE privilege for tables. Although 
it is correct and works.
