Public bug reported:

[Availability]
The package lerc is already in Ubuntu universe.
The package lerc build for the architectures it is designed to work on.
It currently builds and works for architetcures: amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el 
riscv64
s390x fails since upstream doesn't support big endian architecture
https://github.com/Esri/lerc/blob/master/src/LercLib/Defines.h#L56
which was discussed on in Debian
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=990789

Debian is built tiff without lerc support to workaround that issue.
Ideally it would be available on every architecture but it's probably not 
important for s390x users so we think the current solution is acceptable.
Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lerc

[Rationale]
- The package lerc is required in Ubuntu main as a new depends of tiff.

- The package lerc is required in Ubuntu main no later than aug 25 due
to feature freeze

[Security]
- No CVEs/security issues in this software in the past

- no `suid` or `sgid` binaries
- no executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin`
- Package does not install services, timers or recurring jobs
- Packages does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024)
- Packages does not contain extensions to security-sensitive software

[Quality assurance - function/usage]
- The package works well right after install

[Quality assurance - maintenance]
The package is rather now but seems well maintained in Debian/Ubuntu and has no 
open bug reports
- The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support

[Quality assurance - testing]
- The package runs a test suite on build time, if it fails
  it makes the build fail, link to build log 
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/573017632/buildlog_ubuntu-jammy-amd64.lerc_3.0+ds-1_BUILDING.txt.gz

- The package runs an autopkgtest, and is currently passing on
  this amd64 arm64 armhf ppc64el list of architectures, link to test logs 
https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/l/lerc

The i386 failure is due to python3 packages installability issues on
that architecture. The s390x one is due to the fact that the library
isn't build on that architecture as explained earlier. This is ok
because neither of those are sign of problems with the library.

[Quality assurance - packaging]
- debian/watch is present and works

# lintian --pedantic
running with root privileges is not recommended!
P: lerc source: package-uses-old-debhelper-compat-version 12
P: lerc source: very-long-line-length-in-source-file CHANGELOG.md line 23 is 
567 characters long (>512)
P: lerc source: very-long-line-length-in-source-file README.md line 23 is 620 
characters long (>512)

those are only minor warnings

- Lintian overrides are not present

- This package does not rely on obsolete or about to be demoted packages.
- This package has no python2 or GTK2 dependencies

- The package will be installed by default, but does not ask debconf
questions higher than medium

- Packaging and build is easy, link to d/rules
https://salsa.debian.org/debian-gis-team/lerc/-/blob/master/debian/rules

[UI standards]
- Application is not end-user facing (does not need translation)

[Dependencies]
- No further depends or recommends dependencies that are not yet in main

[Standards compliance]
- This package correctly follows FHS and Debian Policy

[Maintenance/Owner]
- Owning Team will be desktop-packages
- Team is not yet, but will subscribe to the package before promotion

- The package successfully built during the most recent test rebuild

[Background information]
The Package description explains the package well
Upstream Name is lerc
Link to upstream project https://github.com/Esri/lerc
