As far as I can understand lerc will never be able to migrate to testing if we use Architecture: any.
It's not a regression for new packages to not be available on some release architectures, they were never there.
Once a package is in testing on a release architectures, newer revisions of the package must also be built on those architectures. If that fails, e.g. upstream drops support for 32bit architectures, you need a partial RM bugreport to have ftp-master remove the package from those architectures, after that it will migrate again even though it's not available on all release architectures.
osmium-tool is an example of this, it FTBFS on s390x since 1.11.0 because the Spaten format only supports little endian [0]. So it was removed from that release architecture via #940635 [1].
