Not good enough in general. You need at least %{ARCH} in a querry
format or you will get a lot false positives in a multilib
situation. With that added it is possible to miss some duplicates
when %{ARCH} changed between 'noarch' and something more specific
(this happened on some occasions) but chances are pretty small.
That script from
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Tools/yum?highlight=%28yum%29
does much better job (even if it could be done in a simpler way).
