Since you installed it through the package management system rather than manually, it would be best to wait for new versions of go be packaged and provided through the same package management system. Should you want to do otherwise, it would be best to uninstall the go package using apt-get and then re-install it manually. Then you have full control about when to update it and how. Neither is a bad way, it just depends on if you want/need to stay on the very latest version of go before the package maintainers provide it.
