Old ripped lining paper - patch or fill?

Hello. This corner of lining paper came off, as well as the vertical strip to the right, when I was prepping these cracks on my ceiling to repair. It's old (and I think quite thickly painted over), so I don't know what kind or thickness of lining paper it was. My question is: should I buy a lining paper and try to patch the corner, or just use filler?

For completeness - there's a strip (along and above the crack on the left side of the photo) that was never papered (I'd guess covered with plaster or filler) which I think I'll try to level with the papered section using filler or skim.

Thank you!
