I don't think we can do much for this bug report.
libgweather has a configure switch called --enable-locations-compression, which compresses the locations database.
Looking at Ubuntu, they have a patch that adds gettext support to libgweather just like what they've done with gconf. This reduces space even more and removes redundant storage of translations.
I'll have a look at how stable ubuntu's patch is, if it's stable, I'll apply it and shrink the package by a huge amount, if it isn't, I'll do the locale compression.
I've installed the version from testing. Started gnome-panel and set my location in the clock applet preferences. After a short delay a temperature appeared next to the time so I guess it works, in this simple case at least.
