Read the hwclock man page, there is a discussion about this file and
its use.
% man hwclock

The Adjust Function
The Hardware Clock is usually not very accurate. However,
much of its inaccuracy is completely predictable -- it
gains or loses the same amount of time every day. This is
called systematic drift. Hwclock's "adjust" function lets
you make systematic corrections to correct the systematic
drift.
It works like this: Hwclock keeps a file, /etc/adjtime,
that keeps some historical information. This is called
the adjtime file.

Is it off by a fixed hour everytime? I think Debian by default sets the
hwclock to GMT/UTC time and then sets the local time according to your
timezone. Run tzconfig and make sure your timezone is correct. I am not
an expert on this so this is about all the advice I can give.
Anybody else have more concrete advice?
