The easy way to do this is to dump the source database with the -O switch, which turns off the generation of the sql that sets owner on the objects created during restore. If you can't get a fresh dump, for whatever reason, then you'll have to either hand edit the dump to remove those lines or write a one line sed script to remove them on the fly.
