There is some patch which adds dependencies, I didn't test it though.
It's available here:

If you don't want to use it, you can try something like this:

- remove A from profile,
- remove B from profile,
- install A-new (add it to the profile),
- install B-new (add it to the profile, it can be the same as B).
