Why not start with one of the current profiles and edit to what you want with samples from the lenses you have? Every profile is simply a starting point anyway. As others mentioned I hardly find these necessary anyway and you may well not want to 'correct' the native characteristics of these lenses beyond what is optionally happening in firmware anyway. All of these Leica lenses are in tiny quantities compared to Canon and Nikon. Olympus stuff is not covered at all and it is interesting that the 4/3 designs are not addressed but that is a separate discussion. However, perhaps take your concern to the Adobe Forums?
