Are the walls so bad that using a matt paint wouldn't subdue any

Yes - we have an old farmhouse, which means the kitchen walls once
painted just look "rustic", not crap :-)

It does depend on how 'regular' the crappyness is, I suppose - if
it's things like the outline of where cupboards used to be etc. (i.e.
regular shapes, straight lines) then it'll probably show, but if it's just
imperfections in the finish then yes, a good paint will really sort it I
think.
