I think "Do you write tests" should be included. And "Do you have continuous integration running" would be a nice replacement of having a daily build.

The "daily builds" item should at least be a "daily build & smoke test", but for the rest I think it's at an appropriate level. Keep in mind, these are simple questions which have the greatest differential in quality between yes/no answers.
