Dear JS, Certainly it is worth adding to the OEIS!

A perhaps clearer definition might be:

Number of partitions of n such that the parts include all primes dividing n.

with a COMMENT saying

If n is divisible by a power of a prime, we only need see one copy of that
prime.

You might also add the companion sequence where you want to see all primes
dividing n (with repetition).
