I had a look and the library changes API and ABI in one case _ilog()
changed name to ov_ilog().  I suspect the _ilog() function is an
internal function. _ilog was presented lib/codebook.h and of_ilog() is
now presented in lib/misc.h.  None of these header files are present in
libvorbis-dev, so I guess no changes was done in the public API and ABI.
Based on this, I believe it is safe to upgrade libvorbis without
requering a rebuild and that no migration is needed.

Do you agree?
