The problem is that with older versions of reltool you need to add
{incl_cond, include}
for all top level applications (such as egon_server) in order to
actually include the
application.
Here is an example:
{sys,[{lib_dirs,["/home/nick/code/egon_server"]},
{rel,"egon_server","0.1",[kernel,sasl,stdlib,egon_server]},
{boot_rel,"egon_server"},
{relocatable,true},
{profile,standalone},
{app,egon_server,[{vsn,"0.0.1"},{debug_info,keep},{incl_cond,
include}]}]}.
Another alternative is to use a newer version of reltool.
