Because it was only compiled on s390 with readline support. I'd guess
that the s390 buildd that took care of building libphysfs0 had
libreadline4-dev installed, libphysfs0's configure-script detected it
and automatically enabled it.

No. You have to decide first. - Do you think libphysfs should be
compiled with libreadline4-support. - Is it useful, or just bloat? If
yes update the Build-Depencies and libphysfs-dev's dependencies,
otherwise make sure libphysfs is not *accidentally* compiled with
libreadline4-support e.g. by using --disable-readline.
FWIW I'd guess that compiling with libreadline4 is *not* what you
want. - libreadline4 is GPL, which can be quite limiting for a
library.
Identical thought should be given to the libncurses5 dependency.
