I took a quick look at the code in slime.el, but I'm not familiar it with the way slime.el calls swank functions, so it's not obvious where to look. FWIW, I don't think any code references the parse-package function in swank (which, by the way, is not exported from the swank package).
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) Helmut.
