I think you have the choice of:

a) install texlive-fonts-extra and just newpx from CTAN

  -1 large download and disk-space use.
  +1 no manual config required
  
b) install newtx and newpx from CTAN

  -1 "manual" download and configuration required
  +1 less disk-space
  
c) forget about newpx (at least until it is in Debian/testing)

   Maybe the predecessor (the pxfonts package already suits your needs?)
   Watch for spacing around braces and operators ...
   
As I have both, DSL and a sufficiently large hard-disk, I'd go for a).
