If you want smooth Debian-style installation, you can use the version
that is backported (319.82) - it lists these models as supported in its
documentation:

    GeForce GT 750M                       0x0FE4             D
    GeForce GT 750M                       0x0FE9             D

It is available through backports:

https://packages.debian.org/wheezy-backports/nvidia-driver
http://backports.debian.org/

I am using it myself (though with a 650Ti), and it works flawlessly.
