see the last commit on the wip-texlive-mono branch; the commit message
and the diff should be quite clear. Concerning the branch itself, it
can be directly applied to master once it is in shape, as nothing depends
on the monolithic texlive.

You mean the old/new monolithic texlive from the wip branch and
texlive-biber work together? In that case we should indeed drop biber.
