There's another bug pointing out that the dialog is a bit
confused/confusing about whether you mean "this is a patch that can be
parsed by /usr/bin/patch" or "this is a patch that fixes this bug."
To me this seems related: sniffing the content can only possibly tell
you about the first, but Launchpad's patch workflow seems to be about
the second.
