You actually mentionned the appropriate SQL command: VACUUM :-) I've just added this new paragraph to http://gdal.org/drv_geopackage.html: """When dropping a table, or removing records from tables, the space they occupied is not immediately released and kept in the pool of file pages that SQLite may reuse later. If you need to shrink the file to its minimum size, you need to issue an explicit "VACUUM" SQL request. Note that this will result in a full rewrite of the file."""
