    {
        dropIndexOperation.Table = StripDbo(dropIndexOperation.Table);

        base.Generate(dropIndexOperation, writer);
    }

    // TODO: Override other Generate overloads that involve table names

    private string StripDbo(string table)
    {
        if (table.StartsWith("dbo."))
        {
            return table.Substring(4);
        }

        return table;
    }
}

Then set it in your migrations configuration class:

class Configuration : DbMigrationsConfiguration
{
    public Configuration()
    {
        CodeGenerator = new MyCodeGenerator();
    }
}
