I ran into the following situation…
This entry:
is (the annotation also says so) disc 1 of this set:
Should that first one have an entry of its own?
Should that be removed? It cannot be merged, right?

Looks like the 2 releases should just be merged. Just merge the 1 disc release into the 2 disc release. They appear to be the same release. Select merge mediums and make sure 2 disc set is the target. This is not uncommon.

There was a time in the dim and distant past that MB used to have separate CDs instead of releases. So each (disc n) would be a separate item. Looks like a left-over from that time.

Are we sure that the single disc was not sold as a separate release, in addition to being part of a box set? Seems that would affect how this should be handled.

Isn’t that a cat no of the pair?
Also the annotation says “First disc in double disc package “In Deep + Nexus””

I see. Should have looked before asking. 
Always good to ask… and I also hope the other five voters also asked the same question.
Personally I looked up the cat no on Discogs as well as reading the edit history… but then I can be a bit OTT. 
from the packaging, it does look like other multi-album compilations I’ve seen… but if we’re sure they weren’t sold separately, I see no issue with merging these two.
edit: just realized this was a question about a release merge, not a release group merge… carry on~
