Please cancel this patch. I just discovered that biber 2.13 is not
compatible with the texlive version currently in Guix.

I tried updating because biber 2.12 fails to build. I will submit
a bug report for that.

Cheers
  Konrad.

I remember biber being something of a special package when it comes to
texlive
