That's not necessarily what the (lack of) icon means at all. It can simply be that the relevant package is not in 'main', but resides in either 'contrib' or 'non-free'. Of course, obsolete and local packages won't have the Debian logo either because they're no longer in the repos. In Synaptic here (on a testing machine, as it happens) Aptitude has the Debian logo alongside. In any case, aptitude is listed as available in Stretch, so I'm not sure as to why you're not seeing with the logo.
