I noticed there are many questions with titles like:

How to "do something"?

For example, How to upgrade a single package using apt-get?

I reckon grammatically these are invariably statements rather than questions. Do people here get irked by titles like these? Is it better to avoid titles of this format? Or are they well-understood?

I should admit that I myself am guilty of the same crime, I asked and edited multiple questions in this format. I'm not a native speaker, and I always understood "How to..." as an abbreviation for "How am I to..." or "How am I supposed to..." in this context.
