My freezer needs a new doorseal (is that the correct word for the rubber

It looks like the existing seal is attached to the door by means of double
sided tape (with glue?).

No, it just appears that way after years of gunk. Most commonly, the
seal is held against the door by the strip magnet that is inside the
plastic. There are sheet metal screws that fasten it to the door.

According to the service department of the manufacturere it's difficult for
a DIY-er to install a new seal.

Not in general. Unscrew, peel old seal off, clean the surfaces, and
install the new one.
