Bas,

- The Debian libtiff package already handles that conditional, so there 
must certainly be a way of using the same trick for the GDAL build recipee

- The only user of LERC in GDAL (except for its libtiff internal cpoy) 
is the MRF driver. I doubt MRF is used widely except in Esri data 
centers... So even if you don't want to change the GDAL build recipee to 
include a conditional liblerc dependency, that wouldn't be the end of 
the world.
