This will burn you later. Say you decide you do want B at a later date. If you don't remember to use A you can't install B. Also if you try and install something that requires B package management platforms will pull in A instead. Which won't have the libraries the new package needs.
Obsoletes should only be used when package A replaces the functionality of B and is intended to be a complete replacement for it.

On your new A, add an "Obsoletes" tag:
Obsoletes: B
