To me it depends on the geometry: your bench height, your femur vs. shin length, how far you step out, how your back ankle flexes, etc. I go as deep as I can, but more about the front leg and glute stretch than noticing the back knee. For example I can set up at the bottom of a lunge with my back knee touching. I can't envision setting up at the bottom of a BSS with my rear foot up on my bench and doing its job while my knee was also down.
