Nominated for xenial, but looking at the debdiff I'm a little bit scared (200k
LOC changed).
And I'm worried about:
+ * Incompatible biblatex/biber version is now a fatal error.
what does it mean? I don't want such regressions on stable releases.

Title:
[SRU] biber 2.4 to xenial
Status in biber package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in biber source package in Xenial:
New
Bug description:
Please SRU biber 2.4 to xenial.
[Impact]:
========================
Current biber version in xenial (2.3) is too old for texlive-bibtex-extra
version (2015.20160320-1), as described in Bug 1565842 , making biber
practically unusable in xenial.
Backporting the most recent version (2.5) would still be a mistake since it
requires a (>>= 2016) version of texlive-bibtex-extra.
The proper solution is to backport the 2.4-1 version as was seen in debian.
This has been verified to function properly in the aforementioned bug.
[Test Case]:
========================
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the
checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.
The original 2.4-1 version from debian/snapshot can be found here:
http://snapshot.debian.org/package/biber/2.4-1/
The PPA build that was used for testing can be found here:
https://launchpad.net/~andrikos/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages?field.name_filter=&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=xenial
Probably, you can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
$ backportpackage -u ppa:andrikos/ppa -s xenial -d xenial biber
* xenial:
[X] Package builds without modification
[X] biber installs cleanly and runs
[Regression Potential]:
========
The following reverse-dependencies need to be tested against the new version
of biber. For reverse-build-dependencies (-Indep), please test that the package
still builds against the new biber. For reverse-dependencies, please test that
the version of the package currently in the release still works with the new
biber installed. Reverse- Recommends, Suggests, and Enhances don't need to be
tested, and are listed for completeness-sake.
