[Bug 1457429] [NEW] Failure to mount lz4 compressed squashfs because 4.2 is outdated

[Grizzly]

Public bug reported:

On Fedora 21, I can generate lz4 compressed squashfses.
As vivid only includes squashfs tools 4.2, those archives cannot be mounted under ubuntu.

Even when I am on kernel 3.19 (that SHOULD support mounting them), it is
also not possible to create lz4 archives (like on my lts + vivid-kernel
box).

Suggest updating squashfs-tools at least in trusty and vivid or
providing a ppa.
