You're believing falsehoods.  
I'll leave it up to you to draw the conclusions that should be drawn…

This is conforming.

It is not.


You could use this implementation of defpackage:
https://gitorious.org/com-informatimago/com-informatimago/source/2b229c2b45c230278e80217c908092fe76871b54:common-lisp/lisp-reader/package-mac.lisp#L173
https://gitorious.org/com-informatimago/com-informatimago/source/2b229c2b45c230278e80217c908092fe76871b54:common-lisp/lisp-reader/package-fun.lisp#L1552
instead of cl:defpackage (but you'd have to extract it from there).
