Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

Selection for the state module (which also was the criterion for selection for the men's interview) was completely random, throughout the entire survey. So the general rule applies: use v005 for all analyses except state-specific analyses. For example, you would use sweight if you were ONLY looking at Punjab. Otherwise use v005.

Regression would be ok. For most purposes the sample size would be large enough, in terms of statistical power.
