It helps if you mention your own IP address.  Using 2001:7a8:820:1::1
instead, I get this in the reverse direction (from wieck):

traceroute to 2001:7a8:820:1::1 (2001:7a8:820:1::1), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
 1  vl-121.gw-dists-a.bs.ka.oneandone.net (2001:8d8:2:1::1)  1.530 ms  1.614 ms  1.709 ms

[and nothing more]

A traceroute from 2001:14b0:200:6::4 looks similar, despite taking a
different entry point into HE:

traceroute to 2001:7a8:820:1::1 (2001:7a8:820:1::1) from 2001:14b0:200:6::4, 30 hops max, 24 byte packets
 1  2001:14b0:200:6::3 (2001:14b0:200:6::3)  27.324 ms  29.593 ms  26.593 ms
 2  2a01:1e8:2:3::1 (2a01:1e8:2:3::1)  26.827 ms  26.772 ms *
 3  2a01:1e8:2:4::1 (2a01:1e8:2:4::1)  30.685 ms  30.684 ms  30.767 ms
 4  de-cix.he.net (2001:7f8::1b1b:0:1)  31.821 ms  35.31 ms  33.465 ms
 5  gige-g0-1.tserv18.fra1.ipv6.he.net (2001:470:0:a5::2)  33.738 ms  33.368 ms  30.792 ms

So this seems to be something beyound our (that is, Debian's) control,
assuming that 2001:7a8:820:1::1 is as good as the IP address you've
actually been assigned.
