That should be

  B_INSTALL_TARGET = NO

But now I see that you want B out of target only when A selects B, not
for the general case, right? There is no direct support for that in
Buildroot. You can always use a post build script to remove whatever you
like from your target.

Alternatively you can add a blind config symbol to package B Config.in
that adds 'B_INSTALL_TARGET = NO', and then select this symbol from
package A.
