Using an old tube as a tyre liner - useful or useless?

For the last month or so my rear tyre has had a slow leak. I've tried to patch it, but as it happens that immediate area already has 3-4 patches in it and I couldn't seem to patch it right, the slow leak persisted. This weekend I decided I'd had enough, and bought a new tube.

I'd been thinking for a while now that I'd like to use the old tube as a liner for the new one (so the new one effectively sits inside the old one), especially as it is so well-patched.

Now I'm wondering.. is this likely to make any difference as far as reducing punctures? I average about one a month.
Anyone have any experience with this?
