It SHOULD be!!! Pretty easy to remember what is indirect vs. a direct kick....Foul involving CONTACT (or attempted contact in the case of spitting, kicking, striking, etc.) is direct (including handling) except for the obscure "charge away from the ball"....which is indirect...
Non-contact fouls/Offside are indirect (including things like OS, DP, Obstruction, etc. AND administrative violations committed by a GK WITHIN his own penalty area)....
In this case, the foul involves the GK OUTSIDE his own penalty area, therefore the penalty is a DFK....
And, once again, unless previously warned OR blatantly obvious..."trifling" IMO....
