Bug Description
Please backport libzstd 1.2.0-1 (universe) from artful to zesty.
Reason for the backport:
=======
Current version in Xenial is v0.5.1,
it's an experimental version, using its own, incompatible format.
As a consequence, zstd on Ubuntu Xenial is not compatible with the rest of the world.
This is of important concern for products using libzstd as a shared library :
on Ubuntu Xenial, produced data is different, not compatible with v1+.
This issue has been made more pressing with the integration of zstd in Linux Kernel,
as userland tools must also be updated to read and generate zstd.
Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.
You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s artful -d zesty libzstd
* zesty:
[ ] Package builds without modification
[ ] zstd installs cleanly and runs
[ ] zstd-dbgsym installs cleanly and runs
[ ] libzstd1-dbgsym installs cleanly and runs
[ ] libzstd-dev installs cleanly and runs
[ ] libzstd1 installs cleanly and runs

I don't understand why this request is labelled "zesty".
The request is for "xenial", aka LTS 16.04.
It was created with `requestbackport` from an Ubuntu Xenial machine.
