how do the routers (which control router discovery) get this policy
information?

So, yes, I agree that centralisation of address selection of
policy is important (and necessary for folks using ULAs with
greater-than- site scope multicast), and that DHCPv6 appears a
reasonable choice, but there are fundamental issues with RFC3484
that need to be addressed at the outset.
I mentioned in the DHC session that prefix and routing configuration
decisions in IPv6 typically aren't controlled through DHC.
They are controlled through router discovery (RFC2461). More specific
routes and router selection are also performed by modifications to
ND Router Advertisement messages.
I therefore don't think it is a good fit to proceed with DHC options
for the purpose of source address selection default policy.
So I think I agree with you, that determination whether
centralized control is valid needs to occur, before delving into
solutions (solution looking for problems was heard in that session).
