A summary of the above upstream bug: depending on the provided options,
ps2pdf (ps2pdfwr) will preserve either the PDF links or the annotations.
It will no longer preserve both (so ps2pdfwr may lose information,
contrary to the previous versions).
Concerning the \usepackage[pdfa]{hyperref} I had suggested, this is
eventually a bad workaround as the boxes around the links will be
printed, making the printed document less readable.
