rpm -qq --qf '%{NAME}\n' losetup-2.11 returns losetup
however,
rpm -qa | rpm -qq --qf '%{NAME}\n' -
does not read the standard in of rpm -qa, or can it?
I guess I'm going to have to resort to perl.

I think you need the "NAME" of the package. You can get the names by
doing:
rpm -qp --qf '%{NAME}\n' *.rpm
Also what if the package I am installing from kickstart is already listed in @ section?
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...
