Following is a response from DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:
If you look at the Stata code, just a few lines before "gen d_HH = DHSwt * (M/m_c)" you will find this line: "* m_c total number of completed households (added from the HR dataset)".

To get m_c for a specific survey, open the HR file and enter "codebook hv000". The output will include one number, and that's the number you want.

The instructions to get the level weights for the dv weights are also given in MR27, on the bottom of page 8. I'm afraid that it will be a fair amount of work, with virtually no impact on your results.
