Yes, it should and it does.

In such case clients, obviously enough, are not getting that
information too.

Look at 'man dhcpd.conf' and there is an example there which starts
with:

      subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
         option routers 10.0.0.254;  <--- this is your gateway address
      ......

Name servers and ntpd servers and various others things can be
specified there too.

It is true that dhcpd documentation could be really better, and one
often has to rely on various examples to figure our how to set up
things, but this has nothing to do with legacy issues so this looks
like a really wrong list for questions of that sort.
