lz4c has been considered deprecated by upstream since at least 2018 [1]
and has been disabled by default recently [2].  openSUSE Tumbleweed is
no longer packaging the deprecated version and others will likely
follow.

Going back as far as Ubuntu 16.04/Fedora 25, both lz4 and lz4c are
installed as part of the same package and both accept -9 to enable high
compression so switching should be safe.

2. https://github.com/lz4/lz4/pull/1479

Ah, apologies for not noticing that.  That patch definitely covers what I was
trying to achieve, so this one can be can be dropped.

Thanks!
