Following is a response from Senior DHS Stata Specialist, Tom Pullum:

Your svyset is correct. The weight variable, v005, includes a factor of 1000000 (one million) just so you can ignore any decimal places. Apart from that factor, the sum of the weights is the unweighted sample size, 15426. What is given as the "population size" includes that factor of one million, but Stata has done the weighting correctly.
