At our old house, I've used a primer intended for use under wallpaper and it worked well....think it was called Shields or something like it. Just use a good wallpaper paste on the wallpaper and be sure to wipe all the extra paste off with a wet cloth....change the water frequently. A seam roller is also helpful in getting the edges really tight.
If you're not sure the old surface might show through the new wallpaper, use wallpaper liner. It's applied to the wall horizontally. Then prime before pasting new wallpaper. We did that to apply wallpaper over cheap paneling that had grooves and you could never see any hint of them after the project was completed.
