Relevant commit on debian packaging:
https://salsa.debian.org/systemd-team/systemd/commit/03ae999bb5a731812a2cd1412478b0f337bfbfab

	"This is still an experimental feature."

Since systemd 240 the portable thing moved from experimental to
"supported". From upstream 240 NEWS entry:

        * portablectl is now officially supported and has thus moved to
          /usr/bin/.

I thus think it makes sense to consider enable and ship it as a 
wishlist request also (or primarily) for unstable/testing. Thus marking
it as found in that version as well.
