Simon:
I think it is the way it needs to be done, not just in deal.II. Take a look, for example, at step-20
https://www.dealii.org/current/doxygen/deal.II/step_20.html#Formulationweakformanddiscreteproblem
where we define the bilinear form as
  a({u,p},{v,q})
which is how you will see it in many publications. The point is that the bilinear form must result in a scalar number, and you get that by dot-multiplying the several equations of the PDE system by a vector and then integrating over the domain.

In other words, while I can't point at a specific publication or book, this is how it is commonly done. I don't think you need to cite anything.

Best
 W.
