There used to be this problem but it doesn't exist these days. In
DEPENDS you use the recipe PN. In R* varaibles like RDEPENDS you use the
name as it is in PACKAGES. Any renaming will automatically be taken into
account.

debian.bbclass is the typical example of this and probably where your
LEAD_SONAME warning is coming from.

No, select one e.g. if libfoo is the most "important", LEAD_SONAME =
"libfoo".
