I don't use the PPA and I have no idea of how it updates the ConTeXt
tree. It might be that it only updates when a new beta is released
and not every time a third party module is updated, but I don't know
for sure.
first-setup pulls the modules from
rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/modules/
But updating manually might confuse the package manager. A better
solution if you need to update a module manually is to place it in a
directory, e.g. $HOME/usr/share/texmf and point the environment
variable TEXMFHOME to this directory.
If you need to update a module without touching the installation,
just copy the module (keep the TeX tree intact) to $TEXMFHOME. Check
the log file to ensure that the correct files are being used.
