The wip dependencies are mentioned in all revisions of the Makefile.
The reason I found out about it was that wip/p5-Tie-Cycle had it's
distfile removed from it's repository some my build broke.
p5-Tie-Cycle is a dependency for one of the wip dependencies in the
Makefile.
I have been grepping for Business and business in the perl files that
p5-biblatex-biber installs and it returns nothing. I also tried to
uncomment the dependencies to wip in the Makefile and reinstall biber
without these dependencies installed. Running biber without these
dependencies causes no problems for me. So I think it's totally safe to
remove
DEPENDS+= p5-Business-ISSN-[0-9]*:../../wip/p5-Business-ISSN 
DEPENDS+= p5-Business-ISMN-[0-9]*:../../wip/p5-Business-ISMN
from print/p5-biblatex-biber/Makefile since they are not used by the
package.
