Prevent reinstalling the same version of a package?

Is there a way to prevent gdebi (on the command line) from reinstalling the same version of a .deb file that is already installed? For example, if I do

$ sudo gdebi -n example.deb

Setting up example (13.6.0.10243651) ...
...

I see “Unpacking example (13.6.0.10243651) over (13.6.0.10243651)”. I would rather have gdebi do nothing if I already have the same version of the package installed. How can I achieve that?
