Now, if ABI might change between 9.2, then I have no guarantee that if I test my software update with 9.2, it will be work as expected on the client's machine with Debian 9.1.

If you Depends: libfoo8, this will prevent dpkg from upgrading the library from libfoo8 to libfoo9 until you provide a new version that Depends: libfoo9 instead. The 8/9 numbering is bumped whenever ABI changes.
