Description
**Description**
In a repository using `cargo_bazel` for vendored crates.io dependencies, a workspace-internal crate with a `build.rs` script causes the `:crates_vendor` utility to emit an alias for it, breaking the build due to bad dependency information. Because the crate is a workspace member, and not an external dependency, no alias record should be written.
**Reproduction steps**
Include a workspace crate with a `build.rs` script, and run `:crates_vendor`. Inspect the generated `BUILD.bazel` and observe the `alias` records for that crate.
Reproducer repository: https://github.com/matx-patrick/cargo-bazel-repro
**Impact**
We have worked around this with the patch shown in the reproducer repo.
**Bazel and rules_rust version**
`rules_rust`: 0.70.0
Bazel: 9.1.0
