Comment(by dports@…):

 I'm not too keen on splitting biblatex off into a separate package, but it
 might not be a bad idea to not depend on biber by default. Mostly, I try
 to keep the texlive packages installing everything that upstream TeX Live
 does, but we've made some exceptions for other packages that have a lot of
 dependencies (xindy, asymptote, etc.).

 (And note that biblatex is still useful without the dependency, as it can
 be used with bibtex instead of biber.)
