Personally, I like them. I bought combo packs atleast a year before I ever had any intention of buying a Blu-ray player. I also like the added security, unless Blu-ray players go way down to $50, if my player breaks I won't be able to just go out and get another one, so then any Blu-ray movie I have will be unwatchable and that's where a DVD copy is helpful.
I say give me combo packs, get rid of the digital copy discs. now THOSE are a waste of a disc. I don't use my digital copies, mainly because I don't have anything to play them on, but even then I'd never watch them on a small ipod/phone/whatever screen. Digital copies should be just that, digital, a slip of paper in the case that directs you to a website with a code to enter. No need for the disc.
I think they should get go exclusively with combo packs and stop releasing all these seperate Blu-ray and DVD releases then they'd save a lot of money on packaging resources. Even if they didn't do combo packs exclusively, just doing them in general would most likely make more people buy the Blu-ray copies because most people nowadays know they'll upgrade to Blu-ray eventually, so then they'll have movies already and still be able to watch them before they get a Blu-ray player.
