nope ... you dont ... the libs need to be shipped by the kernel snap
but the new kernel snap definition does not allow anything beyond the
default kernel bits (modules, firmware, dtbs) yet... so currently we
can not ship any GLES on armhf til this is implemented.

i think kevin found a way to ship GLES in his mir snap though, perhaps
that could be a fallback for the moment ?
