Hello Nick, it doesn't work with 2.5-1 version (requires texlive 2016).

$ sudo dpkg -i biber_2.5-1_all.deb 
dpkg: regarding biber_2.5-1_all.deb containing biber:
 biber breaks texlive-bibtex-extra (<< 2016)
  texlive-bibtex-extra (version 2015.20160320-1) is present and installed.

dpkg: error processing archive biber_2.5-1_all.deb (--install):
 installing biber would break texlive-bibtex-extra, and
 deconfiguration is not permitted (--auto-deconfigure might help)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 biber_2.5-1_all.deb

So I think creating a biber 2.4 package for xenial is the way to go.

Thanks!
Rodrigo
