Aegon, you make a good point there. There's no disputing that the IQ of those primes will be better than the kit lenses. The important distinction here is that someone just starting out has no idea what focal lengths they love to shoot. I know I'd feel very trapped if 70mm was the longest lens I had, even if it produced great quality shots.
This is why I think zoom lenses are ideal starting out. They allow for greater experimentation, and once the person develops their style and defines their areas of interest a bit, they can make more educated decisions about which primes to acquire.

Not much point spending on a WR lens for an unsealed body, unless you *really* like that focal length range. I'd probably suggest the two lens kit, K-r plus 18-55 and 55-300, and the DA 35mm AL, with anything left over to go on peripherals, memory card, a cheap flash, second battery, whatever.
It really depends on what the person buying the camera wants to use it for though. Some people wouldn't make much use of the 55-300mm, others couldn't live without it.
