You are incorrect. The rules are perfectly clear about this. Combos are to be entered as normal profiles which means that all features belong to the main profile. But you are allowed to use a child profile for the included lesser medium.
...
My understanding is the combo set rule states
we create a normal profile for the main media type and
we use the details from the main media in the main profile. In which case, the features found on the child main feature disc are not entered into the main profile.
A "normal" profile means we apply standard contribution rules to the main profile.
• For example, if the combo set included a bonus material disc then those features are entered into the main profile as normal for a single film 2-disc set.
• The same is true if the combo set contained a bonus feature film listed as a special feature, it would be added to the main profile as per standard contribution rules for bonus feature films.
However, the combo set rule did not declare the child main feature was a bonus feature film, so standard contribution rules apply strictly to the child main feature disc. The combo set rule created an exception to standard rules by allowing this disc to be added to the main profile's box set contents.
There was no rule that degraded the main feature status of a lower ranking media type in the presence of a higher ranking media type. They are both main feature discs and the "Disc Features" rules apply equally.
I found no rule in the combo set / standard contribution rules that supported your claim that
all features belong to the main profile.
