bug#64783: biber not in $PATH with texlive only

[Julian Flake]

Hi,

according to your suggestion it would be sufficient to have 
"texlive" to have "all of texlive". Unfortunately, with "texlive" 
only, I don't have "biber" on my $PATH. Therefore I used to have 
"texlive-bibeer" in addition to "texlive" in my system 
configuration, which resulted in having "biber" on my $PATH in the 
past. Recently, my system reconfiguration fails with "texlive" + 
"texlive-biber". guix system recofigure succeeds with "texlive" + 
"texlive-biber" + "texlive-bin". I have the impression that this 
shouldn't be the way to go.

This is the failure (of building texlive-font-maps) during system 
reconfiguration with "texlive" + "texlive-biber" but without 
"texlive-bin":

$ zcat
