If in doubt, use the source (debian.bbclass):

lead = bb.data.getVar('LEAD_SONAME', d, 1)
if lead:
	r = re.compile(lead)
	filtered = []
	for s in sonames:
	if r.match(s):
		filtered.append(s)

so its being used as a regexp against the sonames. A valid contents of
the field is something which provides a unique match.

Cheers,
