>Does the DHCPv6 response contain any information about the DHCP-relay
used?

No - the reason is because the relay strips the relay-reply from the
server and then sends the response to the client's IPv6 link-local
address.  I am assuming the goal of this discussion is to find out how
does the client gets its default route?  The first-hop router also
happens to be a DHCPv6 relay agent. The email that I just sent will be
able to let the client know what the mac-address of the default router
is.  Thus when the client sends a globally destined packet upstream
towards the default router, the packet has a global destination and
global source (the source global address was acquired from DHCPv6).  The
packet is shipped to the default router using the mac-address of the
first-hop default router. 

My humble apologies if I did not understand the question being asked.
If that is the case, please articulate which node or policy table needs
to decide what for a SA and then we can discuss more.

Thanks,

Hemant
