In the paper [Ann. Mat. Pura Appl. (4) 193, No. 4, 939--959 (2014; Zbl 1297.05047)], the author proved that the packing of \(C\) by the lattice \(L\) has local ultra-maximum at \(L\) if and only if \(L\) is eutactic and perfect with respect to \(C\). This result generalize well-known Voronoĭ result for lattice packing of balls. But in contrast to balls version, Gruber's result says about ultra-maximum instead of classic local maximum density. In above mentioned paper Gruber also proposed some conjectures about ultra-maximum packings. In this note, first steps toward these conjectures are made. The existence of convex bodies with lattice packings of local ultra maximum density is shown. Contrasting this, families of convex bodies are specified which do not admit lattice packings of local ultra maximum density.
