Next brake question...

I'm rebuilding a spare rear wheel, and have a new set of brake shoes for it. I'm wondering if it's common to cut shallow grooves diagonally across the shoe?  This is something I've done whenever replacing shoes on my vespa - not sure if the "wisdom" carries over???

Thanks,

Scott
