Maybe I'm just not seeing the connection, but what does that have to do
with the apparently missing SELinux policy?

https://packages.debian.org/stable/allpackages does not show any
package(s) with "selinux-policy" in the name.  So selinux-policy-default
has apparently either been renamed, or Jessie is shipping without an
SELinux policy.

I'm trying to figure out which is the case.
