If you search the forums for "omnibus" you will see numerous threads discussing this and workarounds. As for why calibre is the way it is - trying to create a more complex "series" field would then make every single other place where series gets used (which is a lot) orders of magnitude more complex. Think about it - saving to disk, display in multiple places on screen, sorting, rendering in metadata jackets, metadata download plugins - the list goes on. Its a compromise that keeps calibre a lot simpler than it otherwise would have to be.
