The BTS converts text/plain (or similar, e.g. text/x-diff) MIME
attachments to windows inebreaks (CR/LF).
Here are two examples of this:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=30;filename=ldap2zone_0.2-3.1.debdiff;att=1;bug=690377
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=10;filename=ldap2zone_0.2-3_0.2-3.1.diff;att=1;bug=690377
These two diff files most certainly did not have DOS/Windows linebreaks
before sending to the bTS.
This is bad because it makes fixing of bugs a bit troublesome and could
even result in corruption of data.

The BTS doesn't change line endings at all.
If we look at the actual base64 encoded message that you sent,
decoding the first lines yields:
echo 'ZGlmZiAtTnJ1IGxkYXAyem9uZS0wLjIvZGViaWFuL2NoYW5nZWxvZyBsZGFw
MnpvbmUtMC4yL2RlYmlhbi9jaGFuZ2Vsb2cNCi0tLSBsZGFwMnpvbmUtMC4y'|base64 -d

00000050 70 32 7a 6f 6e 65 2d 30 2e 32 |p2zone-0.2|
Thus, whatever line endings your patch had originally, something along
the line helpfully converted it to 0x0d0a line endings.
