The Leica Digilux I and Digilux II are both made by Panasonic. Panasonic
also badges them under their own name. This isn't new...Leica also sold a
Minilux, made by Fuji. However, their current P&S (the CM) is apparently
assembled in Germany.

Yes Emilio, perhaps the Rollei 35 RF -still in production- is a Cosina body,
however at least it uses the Zeiss/Rollei Sonnar 40mm and the same adapted
Zeiss/Rollei Planar 2.8/80 used for the Rolleiflex FX TLR, both superb
lenses.-

How about this strange mix?
My wife just got a pocket digital camera made by Panasonic, a Lumix model,
but the zoom lens is marked:
LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT 1:2.8-5.0/5.7-17.4 ASPH.
It's a nice little camera but I wonder where the Leica lens name came from.
The notation ASPH would indicate it has some more or less modern aspherical
elements but there is no indication as to who actually made the lens. (No
red dot).
