Description
I noticed that a typo in the make target caused my computer to get quite slow, in particular with thousands of make processes being spawned.
I'd typed `make lintcheck` in https://github.com/canonical/jaas-documentation, but anything else that isn't a real make target like `make x` will trigger the same.

I think this is caused by the catchall in https://github.com/canonical/sphinx-docs-starter-pack/blob/main/docs/Makefile#L183
