PS: The Wiki is a bit ambiguous.

"The soname is often used to provide version backwards-compatibility
information."  ^^^^^ _often_

[weremouse at moonstudio ~]$ lsb_release -rc; ls -hAl /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/*lz*
Release:	16.04
Codename:	xenial
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  15 Apr 18  2016 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/liblz4.so.1 -> liblz4.so.1.7.1

Theoretically 1.9.1, 1.9.2 and 1.7.1 should be "compatible", but you
can't rely on this.
