Great idea, have old belt for my wagon "in the boot" such as it is. For some reason, when I replaced the belt on this car 28k miles ago, I threw that belt away.
Root cause of all this is a leaky power steering pump, which is dripping hydraulic fluid for the ASD on the belt. I've had a pump rebuild kit on the shelf for several years now, need to get off my butt and fix those leaks...
