Adding an augeasproviders features would help to distribute the lib properly without using ../../.. hacks...

augeasproviders_feature.rb

Puppet.features.add(:augeasproviders, :libs => ["augeasproviders"])

some_provider.rb

if Puppet.features.augeasproviders?
  require 'augeasproviders'
else
  # Fallback method (/!\ if multiple module paths)
  # Will that even works, since the provider is confined to the feature?
  require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../../../../augeasproviders/provider'
end

Puppet::Type.type(:sometype).provide(:augeas) do
  include AugeasProviders::Provider

  confine :feature => :augeasproviders
end
