I must be using it wrong, although I don't know how pkgdiff is can 
retain the comment.

Basically:
1) apply patch, which results in patched file and .orig file
2) change patched file as desired
3) use pkgdiff with updated patched file and .orig file

I don't see where pkgdiff gets the access to the original comment to 
pass to stdout this way.
