Well, I certainly wouldn't recommend jamming the e-brake on w/ 100ft/lbs of torque on the lever, since the rear rotors will be hot... but the shoes aren't on the rotor surface, and usually they're nowhere near as hot as the fronts, and that's where you're really trying to avoid the deposits. It'd take a ton of heat in the rear rotors for the e-brake shoes to fuse to the rotors or warp things out of balance.
