If you choose to paint the wallpaper you will pay the price later on with bubbling and peeling.i would remove it and paint he walls instead. You can create that look with a sponging technique
I like the wallpaper texture very much! I would secure any loose parts of the wallpaper to the wall and paint it over. This site recommends using a primer first to make sure you cover the stains. Should turn out beautiful! Good luck!

If you paint it don't paint too many coats or you may loose some of the texture, I would use light coats. I think the way it has discolored actually brings out the texture more.
That actually looks like a paintable paper. Use a latex paint, and lightly paint the surface whatever color you like. Make sure all edges, bubbles, etc are fixed before you paint.
You might not be able to get the paint off, but I doubt it would keep you from taking off the wallpaper sometime in the future, might be a little more challenging though.
HOW ABOUT PAINTING IT A SOFT . PEACH, THEN GET A NICE BORDER , NOT A PAPER BORDER A WOOD ONE,A NICE SOFT BROWN OR A LIGHT GREY, OR BOTH.
Unfortunately old wallpaper is unpredictable. I've plenty experience in successful and unsuccessful endeavors on painting over them. Have a plan A (successful pant over) and Plan B (paper decides to disintegrate). You can score.over painted wallpaper in order to.get the water to soften the old glue...but sometimes even professionals can't get the old wallpaper off and say its cheaper to RE-hang Sheetrock instead.
