Presumably the problem here is that you've a maintainer script (preinst or postinst) in B that needs a binary/library from A, and is failing because B's postinst is running before A is unpacked? If not, please clarify, otherwise the problem is that DEPENDS just talks about the final solution. If you want to express that A needs to be installed and configured before B is configured then you'll need to use Pre-Depends, which I don't believe are actually supported in the packaging classes yet. I know that dpkg and opkg support this, and presumably rpm too, so extending the packaging classes is a few minutes work.
