It looks like there's no such plan:

https://wnpp.debian.net/?type%5B%5D=ITA&type%5B%5D=ITP&type%5B%5D=O&type%5B%5D=RFA&type%5B%5D=RFH&type%5B%5D=RFP&project=prime&description=&owner%5B%5D=yes&owner%5B%5D=no&col%5B%5D=dust&col%5B%5D=type&col%5B%5D=description&col%5B%5D=installs&col%5B%5D=owner&sort=installs%2Fdesc


but indeed, if sagemath has a need for it, we'll have to package it.

And I'm willing to do it -- I have a hard time working on the sagemath
package itself, but I'm still interested in getting it running.

Upstream is: https://github.com/kimwalisch/primecount ?

Cheers,
