Dry Leather Liners

I have had a lot of luck with Lexol. It can be bought at shoe repair places. What it does, it if the leather is dry, it will make it flexible for a period again, so you can re-shape. however, (this is good) it dries out and the leather gets stiff again, but where you want it.
I am sure most collectors with experience will tell you at all costs to avoid leather preservatives like saddle soap, neatsfoot oil, linseed oil, or anything petroleum jelly based etc.
If your leather has dry-rot though, you shouldn't have bought it. Nothing can be done.

No need to. Why fix what is not broke? What will preserve your leather, is a constant humidity level of 50%.
