Starting from 5993c5953c7e4ffc6f424f9b8174566256c9ba02 I made the change

diff --git a/build/config/tablet/apps-production.list b/build/config/tablet/apps-production.list
index 7174809..951e77b 100644
--- a/build/config/tablet/apps-production.list

@@ -22,3 +22,4 @@ apps/system

And

$ ls -1 external-apps

epubreader/
filemanager/
firetext/
fruitcutninja/

After I compile with

Actual Results:

No extra app.
	 
Expected Results:

This is probably related with

Exception: Error: "external" property in metadata.json is required since Firefox OS 2.1, please add it into meta data.json and update preload.py if you use this script to perload your apps.

Upgrade preload.py solve the problem.
