Bug#354742: gweather: Locations.xml is huge

[Russell Howe]

Package: gnome-applets-data
Version: 2.12.3-1
Severity: wishlist

Does it really have to be so big?!

That's an 18 megabyte list of places, translated into allsorts of
languages...

Even gzipping it doesn't help an awful lot (2.3M at standard
compression)

I know disk space is cheap and all, but this one file accounts for >1% of
/usr/share on my box!
