This is a completely brain damaged bug that is now going on 3 years old with no
fix in sight.
Meanwhile, golang-1.12-go installs go in /usr/lib/go-1.12/bin, but the only way
to use it is to add it to the path or overwrite the symlinks.
Insanity.

I don't really want to fix this the way you are suggesting because most

This remains an issue, and it happens every time even a maintenance

I cannot readily determine why (from either the Debian or Ubuntu bug trackers.)

/etc/alternatives/go.
It looks like the fix for #840190 did not coordinate with an update to
golang-go that
