If the "config" package is image-specific, you could just invert the 
dependency. Make the config package RDEPEND on "A". Images that install the 
config (which they have to do anyway according to your description) will then 
automatically install "A" which at least accomplishes that you don't need to 
specify both.

I've been in the same position, and it just isn't possible to do what you want.
