Bug#775994: Pass --serial to oggenc to make package build reproducible

[Peter De Wachter]

That patch looks odd. The file name is not a number. Though it looks like
oggenc silently uses the number 0 if it can't parse the argument. And that
will likely work, I can't imagine anything in SDL caring about the serial
number.
