primesieve (i.e. libprimesieve) is used by primecount (which in turn uses
libprimecount).

Installing primecount  (git repo) from source gives one libraries
libprime[sieve,count], and
executable primecount

I have not looked into ways to unvendor libprimesieve from primecount.
I guess if it's done, then it's done "cmake way" - cmake has its own
concept of (source?) packages IMHO.
