I don't have a vacuum boosted brakes on my suburban, but if I did here is what I would do.
First off I would give the brake booster its own vacuum canister isolated with a check valve. That canister would have an additional vacuum pump plumbed into it with a vac switch set to turn the vacuum pump on at around 14''Hg.
Then I would add a warning circuit, a red light or LED (always hot) that grounds through another vacuum switch set for say 10'' to 12'' of Hg.
That way you always have power brakes or a warning light if you don't.
