The lpi file is also a session file. You can reduce the saved info in the
project options.
But for publishing projects, there is a far more comfortable way:
Project->Publish Project 
This will create a copy of the project directory, the lpi file is cleaned
and the new directory can automatically be zipped. There is also a 'publish'
feature for packages.
