If the documentation is not big, I would just stuff it into the -dev package 
(it is the API docs, right?).

It depends on how normal users would use the packages. libsvl2-9 can't depend 
on slv2, because then we would have a circular dependency (slv2 links against 
libslv2, right?). If users will normally use the binaries, then libslv2-9 
should recommend slv2. Documentation should be recommended by the -dev 
package.
