I agree that porting command line tools with no icon, GUI, etc. should be possible -- we need to add a way to promote non-user/ apps through testing into extras for people who will be installing using apt-get. But if the app has been wrapped to make it usable from the GUI (given an icon, creating an xterm, whatever) then it is a GUI app and should go in user/. But we may still want a way to separate out the "too geeky" apps of that form.
