Material: D or P hatch gasket sealing

If you use a gasket with cross section D or P shape (a long hollow tube), do you seal the ends in any way? My first thought was that water would get into the hollow tube of the gasket, so I should seal it, but would sealing prevent the gasket from deforming when sealing?
