I think you need the "NAME" of the package. You can get the names by

rpm -qp --qf '%{NAME}\n' *.rpm

I think this gets resolved by itself. From the source, it looks like
each package is just a key in a dict, and is either selected or not
selected...so I assume there shouldn't be conflict (note, I am not a
python guru); once it is selected, reading it again won't change that...
