If the duplicate is in the underlying story which will have a unique
URL. ie the <link> field is identical. If you did the sort of synthetic
channel production I'm talking about, you could strip the duplicate
<item>s at the end.

I already get duplicate items by subbing Moreover's Vertical Portal and
Online Auction channels.

And if I sub to channels that turn out to be the same, I won't complain,
I'll just unsub one of them.
