It eventually calls parse-package, but you had to remove the colon
because slime-read-package-name knows all the package names (for
TAB-completion) and insists that the entered name matches one of
those.

The CVS version should remove it automatically.

To figure out which swank functions are called, you can look at the
*slime-events* buffer.  E.g. for C-c M-p there will be something like

(:emacs-rex
 (swank:set-package "mp")
 "MULTIPROCESSING" :repl-thread 6)
