[tlbuild] just built custom binaries doesn't contains the 'biber'

[Кирилл К]

But where from comes biber binaries when installing texlive with
precompiled ones? From corresponding package? What are other packages which
(or its parts) doesn't installs with install-tl and incorrect managing by
tlmgr?

Why there  are nothing about this (biber and same others) in texlive
documentation (i.e. in Building and Installation sections)?/

Shall I remove 'biber' (and maybe some other?) package from tlmgr (to
provide correct updating  etc.) if I installing 'biblatex-biber' manually??
