Default Drywall/painting question

Nancy Young wrote:
Quick question: I have just finished scraping wallpaper off
a wall that the previous bozos ... I mean, homeowners ... hadn't
bothered to prime, paint or size. The other walls had
been painted, luckily. I scraped off a gouge before I realized this
wall was different, also I used a paper tiger and was a little zealous
in a few spots and left dings in the drywall paper.

Can I just use drywall patch over those small areas, then paint?
Googling, I saw that someone had a problem doing that, that
they should have shellac-ed over the damaged areas first.

After all this work, I don't want to make more work for myself
by skipping a step. Thanks for any help you can give me.
