It’s quite easy.
It would be perfect if you turn on the SEO friend URL and work with Canonical tag.

This is a very interesting issue. In the perfect world, I would like to have full control of my canonical links. I think it would be nice if there is a way to generate xml file with all content that can be considered duplicate by Google and then manually edit by marking the preferred URLs to be canonical.
