My apologies if I'm missing the obvious, but why not leave
bibtex-biblatex-entry-alist customizable and introduce an internal
variable, say bibtex-biblatex-entry-alist-builtin and move the current
content into that one? Then define a function like this:
(defun bibtex-biblatex-entry-alist ()
(append bibtex-biblatex-entry-alist
bibtex-biblatex-entry-alist-builtin))
where user entries overrule the builtin ones. This is what AUCTeX
mostly does for the "big" variables.
Best, Arash
