In my business I've seen a lot of paneling that was glued to drywall
by someone who apparently getting construction adhesive free and was
determined to use it up. Removing it would have essentially destroyed
the drywall. Sometime painting the paneling is the most cost effective
method of redecorating. I've also seen paneling up over studs with no
drywall underneath.
I agree with Dan that removal is the best method if it can be done
with a minimum of damage to the drywall.
