In #782, we decided to depend on rust instead of libstd-rs, because the latter didn't include libprofiler_builtins and also used a naming scheme that trips up Chromium.
However, in #791 we decided to patch Chromium so that it doesn't need libprofiler_builtins any more, because the master version of the rust recipe also doesn't include it.
Finally, while investigating #792 it turned out that our approach breaks as soon as we have something that depends on libstd-rs in our dependency graph. In that scenario, both libstd-rs and rust (the latter due to our bbappend file) install Rust libraries to /usr/lib/rustlib. This first leads to Chromium build system errors (due to libstd-rs's naming scheme), and after fixing these to Rust compiler errors due to multiple versions being present.
The conclusion is now that we can depend on libstd-rs we should do so. This only requires a small change to Chromium's Rust build scripts to adapt them to the slightly different naming scheme.
Fixes #792.
