Well from what I heard, paint needs a chemical bond and also a 'physical'? bond. I'm no expert but the best thing I've found is lightly sand the walls before you put the primer on (yuk, sanding is yuk yuk but works great). That will degloss somewhat. Then paint with a good primer something like "Fresh Start" from benjamin moore. Then put your regular coat of paint on.
