Bug Description

I recently submitted this patch/debdiff file: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/42809139/fix_stderror_adjtimex-1.28.debdiff
( If it helps, it was meant for bug #553237 )

Launchpad asked if it is really a patch and gave me a link to https://help.launchpad.net/Bugs/BugAttachments

Running "file" command in Ubuntu gives me this:
$ file fix_stderror_adjtimex-1.28.debdiff
fix_stderror_adjtimex-1.28.debdiff: diff output text

Perhaps the mechanism mentioned at the help wiki should be a bit better?
