I can't say whether the problems I had with plaster and lining paper were down to my plasterwork, but occasionally whilst hanging lining paper I would get it positioned wrong and peel it back a little to rehang it. On two occasion plaster came off with the paper, only small pieces, where I had put a 1mm skim in various places to make good damage. My neighbour, who has a fair amount of experience in these things told me to paint the wall with an emulsion before hanging paper. I now do this, and feel much more comfortable with adjusting lining paper. An additional advantage is that my walls are not really plastered as such, just lime mortar which has been worked smooth, so sanding it really starts to dislodge grit particles and makes for rough patches. A coat of emulsion on this completely stabilises the surface. There is no need to make a good job of the emulsion, it won't be on display!
