I understand the concern related to the bug introduced by the new
version. I found an upstream bug that seems the same issue:
  https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=425354
feel free to join it, and provide your feedback. Also, note that your
point #1 is sort of invalid, as the design of the annotation toolbar
was changed upstream.

OTOH, all the other functionalities such as
- opening and displaying any kind of document
- dealing with attachments
- dealing with forms
- printing
- all the various options/settings
- showing the existing annotations
- even modifying the properties of existing annotations
- removing existing annotations
work fine, TTBOMK. So yes, we have a bug that prevents creating new
annotations, however it is just one of the possible functionalities.
Because of this...

... I disagree with this statement: the package in question is _not_
mostly unusable.
