One thing you have to watch out for is that the latex paint and spackle
add a lot of moisture to the wallpaper. There can be problems with the
seams opening up over time. That's one of the reasons that the pros
use liner paper and don't line up the seams with the original paper.
It makes a kind of wallpaper sandwich and is much more stable. The
other trick is to use Krack-Kote that is great for hiding seams and
cracks. http://www.tuffkoteco.com/krackkote.htm Quick to apply and
dry and you can paint over it almost immediately.

I'm told that you can prime with a shellac based primer such as BIN or
Kilz and that will not lift the paper. Then you can use latex as a
top coat. Will Krackkote work either on or under that type of primer.
