Missing dependencies - Kinetic on ARM with Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit

Dear ROS users,

I have problem with installation of ROS Kinetic Kame on 64-bit ARM (ARMv8) computer (Odroid-C2) with Ubuntu 16.04.

Installation ends with missing dependencies on ARMHF packages.

$ sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-desktop

Is there possibility to install it on my hardware. Install it on computer with Ubuntu 16.04 (Kinetic) or ARM with ubuntu 14.04 (Jade) it isn't problem.

Thank you

As Kinetic is set to be released on the 23rd (tomorrow, see Kinetic release date), it could very well be that there are still some packages missing.
