That weird. I've never done anything special with locales and my locale-archive is only 1.3MB. I just selected the locales I wanted during install, they're listed in /etc/locale.gen and they're the only locales in the archive. How did you get your archive to be so large? (Debian BTW)

Are you using localepurge, by chance? It removes undesired locales after each apt run.

localepurge only touches /usr/share/locale and /usr/share/man; /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive is not modified at all by localepurge, so I'm not sure what would cause it to be so large.
