originalusers should allow to drop their table. 

If you want to give the user DROP TABLE rights, he will also need to be able to drop the triggers and such on that
table.

If you want to work around that you'll need to take the same approach with which you created those tables.

Having the tables owned by a more powerful user will help with that, but in your situation I think the postgres
superusermay be a bit too powerful. You're probably better off creating a non-superuser role for this purpose.
