The request to include the annotations patch at Debian is at:
http://bugs.debian.org/456947
But as you can see, it is marked as blocked by
http://bugs.debian.org/456591
(the request against uw-imap/libc-client to include the patch.)
Therefore, the blocker at the php level is enabling the annotations code at
configure time if the system supports it. Of course, support on libc-client
is necessary for it to be of any use.
I just talked to Jonas Smedegaard (the Debian maintainer of libc-client,)
and apparently the reason for not merging it is that the code is dead
upstream and unmaintainable. A dead end. While digging for alternatives, it
appears that there was a discussion in 2004 for FC2 about the situation of
libc-client, but besides that: nothing.
As it seems, the best and maintainable solution is to switch to some other
alternative library (sadly, there's no such candidate atm.)
