No.  The right place is here.

Did you read the comment right before the chown command?  Your patch
is rather intrusive.  It looks as if it will work only for privileged
accounts now.  Since you're using crontab from a shell script anyway,
I don't see why you couldn't use chown or setfacl in the same script
after calling crontab.
