There is no need for an exception for LGPL software.

It is wrong, because upstream can decide at some point in the future
that the ABI is stable, and then start to call it libssh.so.0 or
libssh.so.1. It is much safer to use libtool' -release flag, so that it
is called libssh-$VERSION.so.0. To achieve that, just use something like
this in Makefile.am:
UP_VERSION=$(something that returns 0.11, the current version)
libssh_la_LDFLAGS = -release $(UP_VERSION)
