If the wallpaper is not bubbled or loose, you can skim coat over top of it. I ran into the same issues trying to remove it in our kitchen and ended up skim coating over the damage. I found out after the fact, as I removed the wall paper and messed up the underlying drywall. I could have saved myself some trouble and skim coated over it. It cheaper than tearing out the existing drywall and replacing it; and it's cheaper than putting 1/4" drywall over top.
