Well put, though "main purpose" may leave some gray areas.

  • Packages which auto-start in a secure manner, or enable alternative functionality in other applications, SHOULD NOT use the CLI icon, as interaction with them through the CLI is not required.
I would s/in a secure manner// (not relevant to the icon rules, and having it there may give the impression that auto-starting insecurely is ok if there's a CLI icon).

  • Any daemon which auto-starts MUST NOT provide a trivial attack vector, and so SHOULD (for example) prompt for a password during installation.
Let's leave this out (or add it explicitly to the security part of the QA checklist), it has no relevance to the icon / description rules either.
