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

I think you are referring to table 10.11 on page 138 of the report on the Uganda 2011 survey. It's interesting that the label for v465 in the KR file is "disposal of youngest child's stools when not using toilet", but the question was not just asked about the youngest child! You have to specify that hidx is 1. If you enter "tab v465 if hidx==1 [iweight=v005/1000000]" you will get the distribution you are looking for. Note also that I am not using svy. For a table, the cluster and stratum adjustments have no effect, and iweight will work fine.
